> if there's anything that might be helpful to replicate that'd be useful to be aware of I actually did a fair amount of Ruby (still maintain one tool that is actively used by the community now) too in my day; had my time with Rails... and then went off of it (see later). I'd say there are things to not replicate from Rails as well. Like the over-extreme amount of magic.

👀 good to know all around

awesome! let me know if you think of any potential improvements. e.g. I haven't used rails at all myself, so assuming you have, if there's anything that might be helpful to replicate that'd be useful to be aware of

Welcome! I too will love to hear in the future about your experience with Clojure from the Ruby perspective. Rails was a total game changer when it rolled out. ⚡

@foo yeah man great work! Interesting that you didn't came from it, I just assumed it. The tooling around rails is also really good like with generators with some helpful comments sprinkled around etc, I was delighted by that in Biff. Documentation is looking great too! Wild that Rich Hickey too came from C++ & Java and not from more dynamic languages but then it ends going even further, great stuff. Thanks @macrobartfast, yeah indeed it was crazy impactful, its like it made a lot of stuff that was going on at the time feel old from one day to the other!

To me it feels like there's a natural bridge between the two, for example there's PRY which is a go at REPL driven development in Ruby. On the tooling there was always also rails console which is also about touching & inspecting everything and master the code... Then when you start to limit statefulness the code can start to feel a lot like FP... Definitely recommend it too.
