Good question. I think that relates to the “developer experience” point I was trying to get across: Things like file-system routing (eg. drop a JavaScript or Markdown file in /pages) and overall a Webpck/Babel setup along with the build/export scripts that just work out of the box. Regardless I still think you have a valid point and yes this is experimental and not something I would generally advise.

Got it - so literally just for the higher level 'rails like' dev experience and nothing 'react-y' per se? Thanks!

I actually thought it might have something to do with data loading, so it was a slightly leading question as I'm very interested in that stuff - I have a library react-frontload [0] that does client & server data loading that could feasibly be used in a server-only context, and am always looking for ideas on different usecases etc.

Ah yes, there are some interesting new frameworks built around this concept. PHP.js comes to mind.

I know what you mean, but it is still funny, given how long this was the way nearly 100% of web development was done for about 15 years.
