Ask HN: Is Hotwired/* in Rails a real thing?

There was a lot of buzz when it was released in 2022: > Hotwire is the new functionality of Rails that gained momentum lastly. > Hotwire is not a single library, but a new approach to building web and mobile applications etc. From your experience is it a real thing that you're really excited after about a year after release, or just a bloatware from 37signals because they want it to be in Rails? I have a sense it was never a momentum. And I haven't heard about exciting and real life stories, except from 37signals.
