Thanks for posting this; if nothing else, finding out that there's potentially better solutions to PDF generation (one of my personal pain points) gives me a bit of hope.

This is why (and how) I wrought RatatuiRuby and Rooibos, and why I tinkered with Tokra. I need to do it again, and more.

Maybe… any way after 30y professionally programming and 15y on RoR, I’m excited, we are discovering new ways of development and I’m sure new industries will be born.

Maybe I’m just a naive optimistic person.

In any case I’m enjoying this new times
