Trying Ruby on Rails 8

After watching the RailsConf presentation by DHH, I'm glad that I'm using Ruby on Rails for this website.

I believe Rails is on the right path. While other frameworks are focusing on how to make things faster, Rails, on the other hand, is focusing on how to optimize one tool to rule them all - from coding "Hello World" to deployment, and even to IPO.

Don't get me wrong, Rails' speed is acceptable. It's not as fast as C or Go, but it's not slow either. What makes me feel secure is the support for developers. We're guided to be independent as developer. Not such a thing is hided.

What about Rails 8?

Rails 7 is already simple, but Rails 8 takes us to another level of simplicity. In Rails 8, there's no need for separate transpilers for JavaScript and CSS. We're introduced to Solid Queue and Solid Cache, which are all included by default.
