Well, welcome back to another episode of the Ruby Rogues podcast. I'm one of your co-hosts today, Valentino Stoll, and I'm joined by Ayush. Ayush, do you want to introduce yourself?
Hello, hello. I've been on the podcast for a while, so hopefully frequent listeners would know. But yeah, quick intro. I'm the author of a book called The Rails and Hotwire Codex. I'm on the Bridgestone Core team, and I talk a lot of crap about Ruby.
You just released another version of the book, didn't you?
Yeah, it's a minor update. Just a whole bunch of continuity fixes that a very diligent reader sent me.
That book is so huge. I just imagine a minor update is really like a book in its own capacity.
You can say that again. That's what makes continuity so unbelievably hard. like some of the mistakes that this reader sent me to like some a piece of code that i'd written that i kind of modify like three chapters later but i'd forgotten to backport the changes and stuff it's like see this is what i'm waiting ai to do right it's just like all this nonsense work that has to happen but like nobody really wants to do it right like
yeah yeah it's really why don't we have a reader bot and it's just like reads your book for you and it's like okay yeah based on this latest stuff you know you should update these things right that would that would be very useful indeed so i we were talking before the show kind of like Rails 8 is on the way here. Everybody's at Rails World and Ayush and I are feeling major FOMO right now. But we're just watching the stream come through of all of these incredible updates that are just getting pushed out and released and announced today. Some of them we already knew were coming, right? Some of them we didn't. Ayush, do you want to like maybe mention your top highlights so far?
Yeah, so I mean the All I'm looking at is the Twitter feed, really, because we don't have any YouTube streams as yet. Although the keynote apparently will be up later today, which honestly, Ruby on Rails Foundation is bloody amazing turnaround time. Yeah, that's incredible. Have it out on the same day. But yes, at Rails 8, the highlights are authentication, prop shaft, the solid trifecta, which is solid cache, solid queue, solid cable. thruster and Kamal too. Which the thing that I don't know, maybe I'm in the minority of the thing out of all of that, that I find least interesting is authentication. Because I've always just built my own. I've never been a fan of device or anything like that.
I just built my own. So I don't really care that Rails kind of has it, because I'll still just use the one I made myself.
Yeah, that's fair. You always prefer your own tools in the end.
Yeah, my ego is too big to let me use anything else.
Yeah, I'm with you. I feel like I've seen, you know, we've all kind of like been preparing for this, I guess, solid trifecta that they're calling it now. But yeah, I mean, it definitely makes makes me happy to see, you know, more and more not have to get set up when you first start up a new app. There's nothing worse than configuring something when you just want to get going.
Yeah, yeah, completely. And I think just being able to drop the Redis dependency is something that's quite big. And I'm also, for small indie apps, I think having the three solid libraries along with all the move towards SQLite is just going to reduce the amount of complexity pretty significantly because you don't need a database server anymore either. And you're just like, yeah, you have one SQLite database for your actual database. You have another one for your cache. You have another one for your queue. And it's just like, just creating files. It's not that hard.
Right. Yeah, I mean, the last leg of this is wrapping everything in WebAssembly so you could just deploy to anywhere. yeah which i don't know will happen in our uh near term but uh you know what one thing i noticed from the feed i was curious uh what you thought about uh it's kind of what's coming in rails 8.1 which are like the three bigger features that i feel like have been missing from rails a lot which is the action notifier the search and uh house md which i thought was funny is a markdown editor
