This sounds good until you want to actually get things done. I don't think of React as merely adding needless interactivity, it's also an excellent view engine.

This sounds good until you want to actually get things done. I don't think of React as merely adding needless interactivity, it's also an excellent view engine. It's extremely easy to get a site up and running with easy to read and maintain code with React.
Technology builds on top of itself. Might as well use the things that make you more productive. The DHH ideology of anti-modernism makes some sense in some cases, but most of the time it doesn't hold up. Thank god I can deploy my static site React app to S3 with some GitHub actions and don't have to FTP a whole site into some Linux server I pay $5/month for.
- Lukas_Skywalker 3y agoDHH never suggested to host a static site on a Linux server. He only says that most (database-backed) applications could do without frontend frameworks like React. The alternative to the „static site React app“ you‘re hosting on S3 would obviously be static HTML.
- kaba0 3y agoI like React, but I didn’t quite figure out the “additional” ecosystem - what do you use for managing the communication with your backend, for example?
