Use Rails 4 now?

[Linus Pettersson]

Hi!

If I'm starting to develop a website soon, would you recommend me to use Rails 4? I guess a release is not THAT far away, so it will probably be released before my site is done...

So, start with rails 4 or use 3.2 and upgrade later?
How stable is rails 4 atm?

Cheers!

Linus, I started an application yesterday without any major issues so far. There's been a couple of instances where I've needed to do use a Rails4 branch of a couple of gems I required, however there are not many major Rails 4 API changes (sure there's was a bunch of things extracted as gems). From my understanding, Basecamp Breeze and Github Gists are both running on Rails 4.

HTH,

Nicholas
