> an entirely new way of doing all things front end. Are you referring to ViewComponent: https://github.com/github/view_component? As someone who's happily been continuing to make Rails apps for the past few years (and avoiding Angular like the plague after being burned badly with it), this seems really intriguing, but I'm waiting on the 6.1 release before I try it. |

They are basically doing a major rewrite of Turbolinks and Stimulus I think. If you go to app.hey.com and jump into dev tools you can kind of start to piece things together somewhat since they have made all of the source maps available. But I’m yet to see too many people really figure out what is happening and I’m excited for the official announcement.
I think the idea that Rails has somewhat lagged behind the rest of the front end world is in many ways an overblown talking point but is at the same time in no way an unfair criticism.
I’ve heard the core team make several references for the last year that this new approach is basically to front end what Rails was to backend when it launched in terms of developer experience while keeping 80-90% of the performance benefits of SPAs but with 0% of the drama. Or at least this is how I understand them to be promoting it.
