There are many programming languages

&

we still use Ruby & Rails

From time to time any rails developer looks
on an another solution ,
plays with it
&
comes back to Rails

The framework does the dirty work   

& 

introduces a lot of things that I has never thought about

The most useful rails parts

architecture  &  conventions

With a rails convention it's always clear where any part of code should be placed & named

but in every application there were a chucks of code which I didn't know where to put

Yes, it's not a terrible situation & you could live with it. 

But there are a few problems

• with app growth a count of these chunks increases too
  
• some of them has a duplicated logic
  
• it's harder to test it
  

They are good but your code becomes too much OO

&

gets a new problems with growth of files & classes

Welcome utils

A few lines to start using

As the result

• get `helpers` but for all Rails application
  
• take benefits  of a functional programming using Ruby
• avoid creating new instances of classes
• you know where to put not directly related "MVC" code
