Would you still use Ruby/Rails for a solo indie sass project?

    If you mean this, https://sass-lang.com/ruby-sass/, it's EOL

    No! Not for that reason.

    Ruby was the original Sass implementation and way back in the day I actually did have some Ruby issues while compiling Sass on a Windows machine but that hasn't been the case in ages as that most projects have a build process set up. I don't even think any fresh devs using Sass today would ever notice it's related to Ruby

    I love how everyone just ignored him telling people it's saas not sass.

    For starting up it's fine. But as you want to scale, aka hire more people it's a tad harder to do now since ruby/rails are a bit harder to find. Not impossible but you know.

    Other then that. Go for it tbh

    sure, Rails is an established platform with high quality gems at your disposal. I am not currently using it at work because we have a different stack, but using it in the past was (at least for me) a joy and Ruby is an absolute blast as a language.

    I've only worked on it once before (professionally that is) and I was assisting with the api endpoints that the application used and the test coverage. Fun times, and I don't mean that in a sarcastic way. I have also been thinking about starting personal projects using it again.
