      1. Heard about "Hotwire" written to run Hey.com and apparently being "html over the wire" and SPA-like perf "without writing a lick of JS". From what I can see, it's writing Rails and having a gem insert all your JS "as if by magic". —

      And sadly, it's not HTML over the wire (or at least *not enough HTML over the wire) because browsing without JS doesn't load my "imbox" - or at least I assume it hasn't going by the heading and blank page.

    Pretty much why I have always preferred Next.js - without JavaScript _all_ the HTML is sent over the wire to render the page. For ffconf web site we even had an extension that stripped all the client-side JS using Next so it was 100% HTML.

      (side note: hotwire is certainly good for Rails and Ruby devs - it means they don't have to get their hands dirty with JavaScript)
