Q:

Does anybody have any experience with Hobo?

I'm thinking of adopting HOBO for quicker development of some Rails apps I want to develop on the side for myself.

Obviously there seems to be a certain learning curve to get the different concepts and specific coding practices of the gem and its dryml templates.

Also the documentation seems close to non-existent so I'm not sure I want to invest time in this direction but the intro screencast is very appealing to me.

Let me know of your experience of Rails + Hobo if any.

A:

Don't go for it. I have experience with it but a bad one.

Hobo,RoR and Ruby and sooo many file extensions make your life living hell.

IMHO its not enjoyable experience.

-1 python fanboy bashing ruby and rails. hobo might be an overhaul, but ruby and ror definitely don't make your life a living hell, *au contraire*

and imho i disagree, so i downvoted

The original poster asked for experiences which are subjective. He gave his experience. If you disagree make your own post and see how many people vote you up (or not).

yes, but he asks about hobo, and you go a step further and say that rails is bad, and I disagree that. I'll not post as I dont find my experience with hobo relevant.

I have used implicit AND. `RoR AND Ruby` good. But `Hobo AND RoR AND Ruby AND Sooo many file extensions` bad. :)

After playing with Hobo for a while I've decided to keep developing in regular Rails.

+1 A:

I find Hobo in some ways DRYer than Rails and more accessible to n00bs.

Documentation is much better now, since there's "Rapid Rails with Hobo," a book authored by 3 people who've used Hobo quite extensively. I haven't read the full book (it's over 300 pages long!), but the sections I've read are very good.
