> There are a lot of vocal people who make it seem like you should be doing everything in Go or Angular or what have you

Can you give examples of the 'lot of vocal people' saying 'you should be doing everything in Go or Angular'? I don't see this. I only hear this kind of black/white sentiment when filtered via junior devs.

Experienced devs I know get there are trade-offs. And I don't see anyone on the React/Angular/Vue teams saying that server-sidey Django/Rails/etc. apps are 'wrong'.

At least once a week I read comments or a submission about how X should be written in Rust. That's a pretty common occurrence here; if you stay long enough it'll be another language.
Before Rust it was Haskell, before Haskell it was Erlang, and before Erlang it was Lisp.
I've seen a lot of Rust posts on HN lately, but none saying you must ditch mature frameworks like Rails for Rust equivalents (there aren't any yet, and they know that, for one).

Where's the evidence for this claim DHH/Rails is the only rational force in a sea of extremists?

(Of course the dull reality with real apps is "it's complicated" and most devs are busy grappling with that).

... Can we please call it Rusty Rails?

Do you have any examples?
