Back when I wrote Rails apps, Arel was stable enough and its own gem. Things may have changed, and that’s incredibly depressing.
Sometimes you just need SQL not everything that AR gives you. Most apps are read heavy, so you need an escape hatch. For me, Arel was always that: a programmatic way to alter SQL.
Hanami is a complete Rails replacement. I wouldn’t advocate for that at all.
