Understanding Opinionated Frameworks
Opinionated frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails, provide a cohesive environment where all components are aware of each other, enhancing the development process. For example, Rails offers integrated features like sending emails, running background jobs, and validating user registrations, enabling developers to test end-to-end functionality seamlessly. This cohesion allows developers to leverage built-in testing frameworks to ensure that all parts work together harmoniously. However, the challenge arises when developers express concerns about being locked into a framework and its prescribed technologies, which may not accommodate their evolving needs.
