Is this merely focused on bashing ActiveSupport?

[ivobenedito]

The destructive communication is sad. There is a bigger focus on making an anti ActiveSupport campaign than adding ruby gem alternatives.

Although I agree with parts of the initial concept of this project, I can't git commit on a project named stop_active_support_anywhere. Sounds irresponsible.

Also, seeing you're an @hanami core member (Rails alternative), so you have a bigger responsability on this project. /cc @jodosha
I know @hanami since Lotus, and use hanami-utils daily, so I do appreciate and recommend it.

I'll leave 2 written contributions below.

1. Text like this on your README should be reviewed:

ActiveSupport is Evil

There may be better alternatives to AS depending on situations/contexts

"You are definitely allowed to shoot yourself in the foot, if you really want to."

I couldn't walk today considering the amount of times in the last 10+ years of my Ruby consultancy experience I've successfully used ActiveSupport to help designing REST API Clients, Data Parsers / Importers, Form Objects, Service Objects, etc, ...

"if you are developing an application, and you are the only one who decides forever"

What's a "only one who decides forever" role?

2. More alternatives to the list

• ActiveSupport::Validations
  • dry-validations
• ActiveSupport::Attributes // ActiveSupport::Types (related to the Rails 5 Attributes API)
  • dry-types
  • virtus

hey, thanks for the issue. My general point - create a repo which will help developers too see ruby ecosystem and will contain some libs or ideas which can replace existed AS code and make ruby libraries less rails specific.

Also, I have no idea for a better name for this project, because again, general point for all of this - make ruby ecosystem less rails specific. Because I think it's important for other frameworks and ecosystem growing. If you have a better name for this - let's create a new issue and discuss it?

I agree, sometimes README can contain angry words (I'm not a native speaker), that's why I'll be happy to see any help with it 👍

@davydovanton can we close and archive this repo?
