Fullstack Ruby Podcast

There are no full stack engineers?! Let's talk about that. Also, just what is a componentized view architecture anyway? What are components? For that matter, what are templates? What are partials? I break it all down and explain why I'm gung-ho about view components. Plus I answer questions regarding Stimulus, nice_partials, and other Rails tooling from listeners like YOU! Enjoy, and keep on Ruby-ing!

Hey everybody, I’m so glad you could tune in for the debut episode of Fullstack Ruby. I’ve been on a few Ruby-themed podcasts over the past 18 months, but this is the first time I’m running a show about Ruby myself!

To kick things off, I'd like to introduce you to Ruby2JS and explain why I think this technology is a game changer.

Ruby2JS isn’t simply about an attempt to write what appears to be Ruby code for your website frontend. It’s really about writing JavaScript—AS IF JavaScript had Ruby's syntax and was inspired by Ruby’s stdlib, ActiveSupport, and the like. A "RubyScript" if you will.

Three examples I cover on today's episode:

•  set_timeout

•  tap & yield_self

•  implicit self method calls within a class definition

Visit the Ruby2JS website for live compilation demos, documentation on the various transformations and approaches available, and a whole lot more.
