The new turbolinks they use on hey.com is using a concept named „portals“ so different parts of the web application can be refreshed independently. My linked inside hey.com articles are very interesting.

Yeah that's the interesting part. It sounds like maybe there will be some overlaps in Turbolinks 6 and NEW MAGIC when it comes to partial updates.

Maybe for basic partial page updates where you don't need to broadcast something to every connected client over websockets then Turbolinks 6 will be enough on it own. If that ends up being the case that's amazing because it'll be fully client side.

In any case the near future is looking to be the best its ever been for developing very nice feeling apps without going the SPA route with any back-end technology.
