Same thing happened to me. I was really intrigued by intercooler when I first found it a couple years ago, but lacking experience in the front-end, I found myself cornered in a conversation about it with a React snob. Ultimately, I turned my attention elsewhere before I ever got a chance to sink my teeth into it. Glad to see the project is going strong and getting a makeover. Especially in web development, the constant obsession with the Next Big Thing can be a real deterrent against some really cool ideas. Kutty won't make you a more desirable job candidate or force you to develop new and challenging mental models (afaiu); it'll never give rise to an ecosystem of plugins and extensions the way React has; and with Webpack integration in the latest release of Rails (where I'm coming from), frontend frameworks are being normalized as the default approach (or at least the final destination) of any web application these days. But engineering is about trade-offs. There's a sizable chunk of projects out there whose requirements are modest enough to be met with HTML, AJAX, and a little glue to hold them together, and kutty seems to provide a really clean abstraction layer there. Really looking forward to trying it out soon.
