Great alternative if using Elixir/Phoenix

I like that it's easy for my team members who don't have much Ruby experience in order train them up. It takes some time to get used to, but once you do, your code will be more readable than any other framework out there (in terms of syntax). The IDE is also very useful even though not as intuitive as one might want with something new coming along every few months. We're building an app where all our front-end AngularJS developers are still working from VSCode right now so we were looking into

Pros
  • Easy learning curve compared most frameworks.
  • Good documentation online if need help lots available tutorials about howto use various components included within OC; )
Cons
  • Not great performance when using big data sets / huge amounts or objects/relationships

Ocsigen - Very useful IDE or environment

It is very good for backend programming. I am using it to create web apps which require authentication, authorization, and also need to interact with various APIs. The most helpful thing about this tool is that you can easily add your own middleware in case you need to customize something. You cannot debug your code in real-time as we do when working in Visual Studio. This is not an inconvenience but just a reality of the product. If you are looking for a great platform to develop backend…

Pros
  • Its documentation covers everything from basic things like installing tools etc., till advanced features such user login or API integration.It has builtin support libraries so installation process doesn't take much time at all.You get plenty help if stuck somewhere while developing project.Its sourcecode repository contains almost every feature present within its core library itself..Very easy
Cons
  • Some disadvantages

Great platform if you want quick turnaround time

The ease of use from start to finish is great. I can create an app in under 5 minutes. Once it's up and running, it doesn't get any easier to update or maintain. The only thing I don't like about Ocsigen is the lack of documentation/support for some things (like the api call) that are not intuitively obvious. For everything else though, it works great! I have not found anything that hasn't had a simple fix or work around once I've figured out how to do something differently. It is easy enough…

Pros
  • Easy API creation & management via oauth_keys file which makes deployment very fast as well.Easy configuration through yaml files..Documentation available online..Great community support forums..Fast turnaround time when issues arise...Lots more features than other frameworks such has Wicket
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

The best way to manage Open Source web applications

I like that it's open source, so you can modify anything about its code base as much or little is convenient for your own needs/wants of how things work internally in ocservant-server (OCS). You have complete control over what server components are running inside an instance - this makes managing instances easier than with other solutions out there such as Heroku which requires some level of trust from users who don't know exactly whats going behind their back when they deploy something…

Pros
  • Flexibility to install packages
  • Easy installation process; almost zero downtime compared tp docker environments
Cons
  • Not bad
