Excellent write up. I worked with Rails and Phoenix in their early days and got plenty of value from each. If you're building a traditional web 2 app, look no further...similar to choosing Postgres, start there until you have really good reason to venture off. Without taking away anything from these frameworks and as someone that spent over 10 years building app frameworks, sometimes it's not what I want. I'm using C…

I had to google the definition of "stymy".

I've always seen it spelled stymie, was pretty surprised that stymy is legit and apparently is the American English way of spelling it.

Is there any other framework which can claim that it compares well to Ruby on Rails speed of development? I.e. conventions over configurations? Asking as I don’t want to learn ruby

Django is more or less Python's equivalent of Rails. Its admin panel is nice, especially for a solo developer trying to manage something they built in a weekend.

Is there an equivalent of the Django admin panel in the PHP (Laravel/Symfony) world?

I don't have any experience in Rails, but similar experience with Django. I am running several apps on my own, while still working elsewhere full-time. The largest one has around 250 views, of maybe 80 are just basic admin views. It is basically comparable to an ERP of a medium-side company with various levels of permissions etc. I was able to get most of the functionality into production in just one month -- I was n…

I'm not a huge fan of Ruby, but even if you admit that Rails is superior to Django, it would be a hard sell to invest in Ruby ecosystem instead of Python

I'm doing something similar to OP with Django right now

As an American, I've never seen that spelling, and I can't find much evidence that it's an accepted spelling. I'm curious how you came to that conclusion.

"Stymy" doesn't appear in Merriam-Webster [0] nor the OED [1]. Wiktionary [2] and Dictionary.com [3] do list it as "variant" or "alternative" spellings, but with no indication that it's an American spelling.

I just wish Ruby had something with the widespread adoption of TypeScript. Once a project gets large enough it's really painful not having types Sorbet and RBS are okay but they don't really compare

I see what you mean but I have never found it to be an issue even in large codebases. Sorbet and RBS have been problematic. Lots of development slows down with these solutions. I wished it had something baked into the language as well but I'm happy without... just following conventions alone has worked really well for me.

Yeah I just can't go back. How fast you can confidently refactor and the improved tooling is the biggest thing for me

You can do fine without them - Basecamp proved that. There's a good reason basically every other Rails company eventually moved to static typing though
