ActiveRecord is Ruby's nigh unassailable superpower for webdev. A few jobs back my last act in that role was moving all DB access from a separate Scala microservice into a Rails minilith, saving many, many lines of code and network round trips.

- JodieBenitez 3y agoDitto... I really enjoy Django's ORM (makes the trivial tasks dead-easy and steps out of the way when needed) and would like to know if it can be even better by borrowing ideas from ActiveRecord.
- jemmyw 3y agoI think they already borrowed from one another quite extensively. As they're now both mature I would be surprised if there was much between them.
- sethrin 3y agoThere are very few situations where you'd need or want ActiveRecord to step out of the way, and in general Rails does a lot more for you.
