I think you are very right. I was just being cheeky when I hinted at switching from Rails to Roda. In general, in spite of the technical advantages that Roda may offer, you definitely need to consider the network effect benefits of using Rails. As you described, it's much easier to find potential employees who are already knowledgeable in Rails. And currently, many more libraries support Rails. I hope that these network effects change over time, and I'm doing what I can to help them change, but they are definitely something you have to consider when choosing whether to use Rails or Roda (and similarly, ActiveRecord or Sequel). Thank you for your kind words, and I hope you are able to use Sequel and/or Roda successfully in the future.
