Django and Postgres for the Busy Rails Developer

1. ruby_ui

   1 1 328 9.4 Ruby

   Ruby gem for RubyUI Components

   

   A bit off topic, but whenever Rails and templating get brought up, I have to plug my absolute favorite project out there: [Phlex](https://beta.phlex.fun/). It's like ViewComponents, but swap out the ERB for pure Ruby. It has been a joy to develop with.

   With the addition of Phlex::Kit, it has made building out a component library pretty easy too. [RubyUI](https://github.com/ruby-ui/ruby_ui) does a great job of showing off how to do this.

3. phlex

   A framework for building object-oriented views in Ruby.

4. Zulip

   3 132 21,917 10.0 Python

   Zulip server and web application. Open-source team chat that helps teams stay productive and focused.

   

   Zulip does this: https://github.com/zulip/zulip/blob/main/zerver/models/__ini...

   Zulip in general is a great example of a large open source Django app that's been maintained and actively developed for a long time. I use it as a reference quite a lot.

5. django-cotton

   4 10 682 9.7 Python

   Enabling Modern UI Composition in Django

   I saw someone mention reactived but there's also https://github.com/wrabit/django-cotton

6. htmy

   5 2 276 8.4 Python

   Async, pure-Python rendering engine.

   

   I use htpy and it's great. There are others like htmy[0] too.

   The problem with templates in general is you can write malformed HTML in them. The nice thing about htpy et al is you simply can't do that. I feel like what we really want is JSX in Python, where you can write XML-like syntax and it's converted into Python at import time.

7. solargraph

   6 18 1,907 5.5 Ruby

   A Ruby language server.

8. ripper-tags

   7 1 549 0.8 Ruby

   fast, accurate ctags generator for ruby source code using Ripper

   

9. liveviews

   8 20 471 5.9

   Phoenix LiveView workalikes for different languages and frameworks

   

   It can, just needs to be built. I'm thinking of something that can both compile to WASM AND be somewhat like Phoenix Liveview.

   Looks like there's some attempts for Phoenix Liveview for Python.

10. tortoise-orm

    9 11 4,782 9.2 Python

    Familiar asyncio ORM for python, built with relations in mind

    

    Wouldn't know. However, some standalone projects are attempting to replicate the same experience, check Tortoise ORM - https://github.com/tortoise/tortoise-orm.

11. pyxl

    10 3 539 10.0 Python

    A Python extension for writing structured and reusable inline HTML.

    

    PEP 750 started its life in part as a result of learnings from pyxl [0], which used some clever hacks to add a JSX-like syntax to Python.

    In the end, my instinct is that t-strings are the better more generic feature to add to the language itself today.

    That said, I'd love to see the Python ecosystem get to the point where it's relatively easy to implement transpilers and to get them integrated with key tools (colorizers, formatters, linters, type checkers, etc). After that: let a thousand JSX-likes bloom.
