I think you’re making the classic mistake of confusing Ruby with Rails.


Which is an oddly pervasive mistake! I had a coworker once assume since I knew Ruby the language, that I'd be completely comfortable with Ruby on Rails' Active Record system.


Absolutely. I learned Ruby at the same time as Rails, and then when I started using Ruby by itself I saw how much heavy lifting ActiveSupport had been doing for me.
