I’m using Rails with IntertiaJS which allows React Vue or Svelte for your front end views for Rails or Laravel (made by Laravel).
Rails is amazing compared to NextJS or Express + React for me. Getting a lot more done. Writing a lot less code. The Rails ecosystem is great for doing a SaaS + modern content site/app.
I was away from Rails with full stack JS since before the pandemic.
I don’t think that much has changed with Rails since like Rails 4 or 5.
Maybe this is a recency bias, but for my own work or any work where I can dictate or influence the tech stack of a modern web app, I’m sticking with Rails/Laravel and React or Svelte when modern frontend/views are needed.
I don’t think Rails or Laravel should even focus on views that much any more in Ruby/PHP.
I get the best of all worlds now and I don’t hate JS any more. In fact I have sort of fallen in love with React as well now that it is only doing what it should do and I want to learn Svelte.
