Loco is a Rust framework that adopted all Ruby on Rails conventions and they're applied through and through. The naming of this project confused me.

Rails has a ton of conventions but also implements a lot of patterns described in Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture. People seem to forget the latter.

My guess is this is where the "off" part of the name kicks in. As in they've left the tracks and are no longer on Rails. As in they've moved beyond the Rails paradigm but are claiming to be a spiritual successor to the original philosophy.

To paraphrase Doc Brown, "Rails? Where we're going, we don't need Rails."

This is Rails with the AI-equivalent of a hover conversion and Mr Fusion to address perceived limitations of Rails.
