Ruby on Rails 5 – released in June 2016, Rails 5 is set to become much more popular throughout 2017.
Around since 2005, Rails seemed unable to make a real impact on web development but the ease and variety of features within Rails 5 including Turbolinks 5 and ActionCable is quickly making it a firm favourite with web developers.
Turbolinks 5 allow you to create single page applications directly from the Rails stack. No need for client-side JavaScript frameworks.
With performance enhancements and improved aesthetic flexibilities, Ruby on Rails 5 allows web developers to focus more on the overall appearance of the website whilst the framework itself fiddles around with all the behind-the-scenes messiness.
