Top 14 Ruby Web Projects

  1. Hanami

    The web, with simplicity.

    Project mention: Should You Use Ruby on Rails or Hanami? | dev.to | 2024-05-08

    While Rails is very well-known in the Ruby community, Hanami is less so. It's a fairly new modern Ruby framework trying to take on Rails' dominance of the full-stack web framework space.

  4. Rack

    A modular Ruby web server interface.

    Project mention: Show HN: Dumbo – Hono inspired framework for PHP | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-11-17

    I've went through a similar journey, with some PHP in the early days, then a lot of Merb/Rack/RoR experience. Though I'd not say PHP is back. I'd avoid it for new projects as there are --IMHO-- much better languages available for free.

    What I really liked from webdevt in Ruby was Rack. https://github.com/rack/rack (gosh I prefer the simplicity of the old logo)

    And I found a Rack-like architecture in "http4k" https://www.http4k.org

    In a way Kotlin can be looked at as a "typed Ruby". Sure Ruby now has optional types, but I believe it's not something easily bolted on later. The whole lang + stdlib should be built in an idiomatic way. Changing the language a lot later usually creates a mess in the stdlib.

    The framework http4k delivers is very similar Hono/Dumbo, but it has a Rack built in as well. Also, http4k is make by functional programming enthusiasts. So it clearly separates logic and data.

    Small request: Please make Hono clickable in the README!
