And chances are, new Rails projects will just be API backends with React frontends.

Also, if trying to do lightweight Javascripty frontends within the framework is important, we might as well just move to Phoenix. Phoenix is arguably better already... it just requires a moderate jump to learn Elixir (which unfortunately looks very much like Ruby but requires a very different approach to writing).

Phoenix is super fun, but it is in completely different realm than rails :)

What about all the gems Ruby has, does one really have all he needs inside Elixir/Erlang? More complex stuff like NokoGiri, Haml, etc., that works well and is maintained.
