Is Padrino dead?

[webrockers]

I desperately try to get into Padrino. It looked promising.

But it seems every documentation, every tutorial is outdated.

The simplest of examples aren't working.

The padrinorb.com blog .. a desert.

Reddit? Zilch.

Why?

Thanks for taking a look! I think it's fair to say Padrino development has halted at this point. We started Padrino way back in 2008-2009 about 13 years ago. Since then we've had several waves of active contributors, and I am proud of what we built. That said, we no longer have an active development team at this time.

Padrino was a great project, I have a ton of developments yet running in padrino, waiting for its turn to be migrated or cancelled. Its a great project which didn't found a way to be supported, by a company, a team of entusiasts or by us, its users.

In addition I guess the Ruby fashion has fall down too. When I was developing all in ruby I remember myself hating the Gemfiles, the deployments, the rvm and all the stack, of course I was hating it less than javascript, the worst dependency management ever.

Finally I'd migrate my brain to Golang, was painful at first, but now I'm very happy, its another world.

When I need to fix something in an old padrinorb project I feel again how easy and quick was that development again, a weird and contradictory feeling.

Anyway, I'm very thankful with padrino, sinatra, and all the people involved in any way. Padrino helped to earn my life for several years.

Appreciate the message Jorge! Believe it or not, I still have many many different Padrino projects that I maintain and some are still being actively developed. And the framework has been working for me very well for the better part of 10+ years in some of these cases. I still enjoy working on my past Padrino apps as much as I did when we first created it 😄

I appreciate everyone that went along for the ride with us 😄

You can definitely be proud. I am not giving up yet. Rails looks to overbloated for my ideas.
