Bulding apps data-first with Sinatra

The Ruby ecosystem is rich with tools that make us developers more productive at what we do. Both Rails and Sinatra have been used to build web application proof-of-concepts and prototypes. But which one is better?

In this article, I try to explain why a back-to-basics approach is better suited for the ideation and conceptualization phase and how this ties in with an underrated aspect of software development — the design process.

That’s great!

Moreover it seems that the Rack 3 support is handled.

Bingo! I’m running rack 2.2.5, I guess it’s time to update.

“Sinatra syntax”? There’s no such thing. Sinatra is written in Ruby, so any tool capable of highlighting and autocompleting Ruby will work for a Sinatra app.

Also, the latest commit to the Sinatra repo on Github was made 4 days ago. This is an actively maintained project, and I don’t think that people in charge of it are less cognisant of the “latest ruby conventions” than you are.

Julia is the better language for extending Python
