Martini vs Trailblazer: What are the differences?
Martini: Classy web framework for Go. Martini is a powerful package for quickly writing modular web applications/services in Golang; Trailblazer: A new architecture for Rails. Trailblazer is a thin layer on top of Rails. It gently enforces encapsulation, an intuitive code structure and gives you an object-oriented architecture. In a nutshell: Trailblazer makes you write logicless models that purely act as data objects, don't contain callbacks, nested attributes, validations or domain logic. It removes bulky controllers and strong_parameters by supplying additional layers to hold that code and completely replaces helpers.
Martini and Trailblazer can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.
"Go" is the primary reason why developers consider Martini over the competitors, whereas "Trailblazer allows creating sane, large apps in Rails" was stated as the key factor in picking Trailblazer.
Martini and Trailblazer are both open source tools. Martini with 10.6K GitHub stars and 1.09K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Trailblazer with 2.91K GitHub stars and 129 GitHub forks.
