hi, i'm tony arcieri. you may remember me from such software projects as celluloid, reia, and cool.io.. in case you haven't noticed already, i've started blogging on the svbtle network. you can find my new blog at: a programmer who once a ruby on rails enthusiast switches to node.js and thinks it's awesome, then proceeds to write a blog attention is drawn to the changing nature of web design, from web pages with server-generated html to single-page js-heavy apps written using backbone, ember, etc. stop me if you think that you've heard this one before.. arguments, but i really worry.. i worry because i keep hearing it over and over people are actually believing it. i don't know why i keep hearing it over and over. i'm not sure if people are running into problems, reading some of the prevailing wisdom, and coming to the same conclusion or what. this really makes me sad, because whenever i read the posts like this, i do feel my previous pas*ion for these same ideas, but for me that was half a lifetime ago, and my opinions have changed. i have been down these roads, over mountains, blazed my own trails, and then realized how stupid i was.. how do you defeat the gish gallop? i don't really enjoy doing this, but as far as i can tell there is no other way: we must go through the arguments one by one and show why they are completely ludicrous. so here we go... in case you were confused, rails is awesome for json apis and single page applications. keeping all of their state in the browser. in general: if you can do something without having to go across the network to do it, you will the primary thing these applications crave are awesome json apis (and websockets.. stay tuned). so why should you use rails for a json api? and gives you awesome tools for building json apis, like activemodel::serializers features rails provides which are useful for json apis, courtesy the rails::api readme: development, making development pleasant without compromising production-time performance.
