Rails Core Panel

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Panel answers focus on concrete changes and asks: progress on mountable reusable apps, a pluggable JSON backends mechanism to avoid json gem clashes, and a proposed split of ActiveSupport into cherry‑pickable pieces. Recommendations include learning modern JavaScript and accepting unobtrusive helpers with optional graceful degradation, testing apps on master and upgrading plugins early, and specific features being built like XSS protection plugin, inverse associations, controller modularity, template lookup abstraction, touch: true cache invalidation, and a smaller core require file for lightweight Rails.
