I'm grateful for rails and hotwire. completely enabled me to escape the madness that is the react ecosystem.
if it's not a state management library, it's a meta framework, if it's not a metaframework, it's a data fetching library. so many choices to do one simple thing put data coming from the server on a page.
then why do people need it to make complicated as if you're hatching dragon eggs with alchemy ?
- 383toast 2y agoReact for me has several large advantages (no specific order): 1. declarative dom updates is way easier than imperative 2. frontend components Additionally typescript needs a compile step anyways so it's not super complicated to just add react to it. I think many people bounced off React 5 years ago when in 2025 React apps are easy to get started with (basically no config), have negligible hot reload + build times, and largely have become a joy to use.
