Right now I'd say we need to make it easier to work with nested params so you can easily save Parent + (n) children. Easier handling of uploaded files is another big one. It's being actively worked on right now. There are a few mo

Hello! I'm the creator of the Lucky web framework https://luckyframework.org . I've been building it for about 3 years and we've got a number of people using it in production. It still lacks some features found in

author of Lucky here. Would love to hear what you don't like about Lucky's ORM (Avram). It is not quite as feature complete as ActiveRecord, but in some ways it has more features (like being able to do more advanced queries in Cr

Totally agree. If this happened post 1.0 I’d be concerned. But pre 1.0 this is what I’d expect and want. Polish things up because afterward you can’t!

This looks awesome! What backend framework are you using? I'm the author Lucky and was wondering if you happened to use it on the backend since you are using Crystal

Author of Lucky here. The title may have been a bit misleading. Lucky is not Ruby on Rails for Crystal. It has a different take on nearly everything in Rails, but it aims to solve the same problems: make web development fun and productive.

I agree. I've been using Rails for 12 years and it is my second favorite framework :) Lucky and Crystal are missing the ecosystem, which the article mentions, but it also adds a lot that Rails is missing. Lucky is much much faster and

I do not think Lucky is Ruby on Rails for Crystal. There are new patterns for just about everything. Routing is different, querying is different, views are very different. It is Rails-like in the sense that it is aimed at productivity and

You can use Lucky without a database, but if you use one, Postgres is the only support database. You don't need node or yarn if you are using API mode. You can generate an API only app with `lucky init <app-name> --api` The proce

I've played around with a number of languages and settled on Crystal because: * Speed * Pleasant to use type system * Doesn't get in my way * Catches lots of bugs * Fun! I wrote http://luckyframework.org/ to write

Hi HN, Lucky is a web framework written in Crystal that helps you build web apps quickly, catches bugs for you, and runs incredibly fast. This article explains how actions and routes are built to catch as many bugs as possible and help make

Can you explain a bit more what you mean? What advantages do "Python variety" lists give you over what Elixir does with lists and tuples?

by paulcsmith 9y ago
This totally makes sense. I think the disadvantage is that this is done at runtime, but assuming you have a test that hits it, it would catch the bug. My colleagues wrote a library that does something like this. You may want to check it out

And for a Ruby/Elixir/dynamic lang programmer just catching `nil` is actually a pretty big win, even without the custom type. I will go more into depth about leveraging the type system with Lucky for even better data modeling in o

TL;DR I totally agree. This can be done with Crystal and Lucky but I wanted to keep the example simple. I totally agree with your sentiment and you have a lot of great points. This post was not meant to get too deep into things right off th

I've been working on https://luckyframework.org and I can say that meta programming is extremely powerful and much easier for me to use than either Ruby or Elixir. You can see a bit of what the macro system enables here: h
