Working with Legacy Ruby on Rails: spring.gem fork() Crash
Working with legacy Ruby on Rails applications is for most developers a problem, as they have a lot of extra work to do:
- Use older documentation, which matches the legacy project
- can’t use fixes and improvements of programming language
- can’t use improvements and features of up-to-date framework version
- have to use older and mostly unsupported third-party extensions
- are maybe forced to write code, which must be changed for updates and upgrades
First of all, many developers will hit the CPU architecture change from x86/x64 to ARM64 using Apple Macs. Even installing older Ruby versions on a newer OS (operating system) on a x86/x64 architecture is hard. It produces a lot of problems, warnings, and errors.
