Ask HN: What is the most pleasant, uncomplicated full stack to start with? | Feb 2023
Ruby on rails is still good and getting better. It has almost every answer/guide possible already on the internet. Otherwise if you prefer better typing, I'm poking https://github.com/luckyframework/lucky from time to time... It looks interesting, but doesn't have a large user base yet.

For the front-end, I found Vuejs quite nice to add exactly where it's needed. Otherwise I can leave 99% of the site a plain html template.

> Crystal is irrelevant as a comparison to Ruby, because there is no Rails.

I wouldn't say it's irrelevant, Crystal is already being used by ex-Rubyists and the ecosystem of crystal libraries are being built by them as well.

After 1.0 you would see more of this happening.

Lucky [0][1] by Thoughtbot is the closest to Rails in the Crystal world.

> The biggest downside of Ruby compared to other languages (besides speed, but like I said, that doesn't matter here), is lack of static typing. That may or may not be a problem depending on your usecase.

Then I shouldn't see any complaints about speed on Ruby if it doesn't matter, Crystal solves all of this built in, with the trade off of slower build times, but then again Rust also has slower build times as well.

But to each their own.

Web Frameworks Status:

Rails inspired (with Influence from Phoenix):

Amber - https://github.com/amberframework/amber

Lucky - https://github.com/luckyframework/lucky

Both look healthy in terms of community and updates but Amber seems to have a slight edge.

Sinatra inspired:
