That's a trend indeed (and personally I like it pretty much).

But lotus has a view component that allows you to do stuff """just like rails""" (many quotes intended). That's the beauty of it: it's modular and not opinionated, so you can pick an mix the tools you want to compose in order to suffice your needs.

Yeah, lotus looks like it could do a good job at letting you share/extend models and other bits of code between a Rails-like html server and a pure api server. Maybe those two things are the same server, different modules in the same server, or different servers sharing libraries. Choice is up to you since lotus looks like it can cleanly do both.
