I’m running a team of developers where we are using Rails as our first-line tool, but we are also committed to using the best tool to solve the jobs at hand. So far, we have only needed to add Lua for a small piece of what we are doing because we can reason about what our logic is supposed to be doing quickly and easily in Rails.
Less than a third of my team were Ruby or Rails developers before joining us, and we are always pushing forward on learning more so that we have a great bucket of tools available as we try to solve our business problems and we hit those things where trying to reason about the problem is difficult in Rails, or where performance matters more than readability and code clarity.
