Similar, in that for rails 5 or rails 6, many projects had a JS front-end - Vue.js was pretty popular at one point, whilst react was very popular it felt like overkill for many use cases.
I actually gave up on the front-end side, as the JS side was just changing all the time, and it was too much to keep up with. It felt like Rails 5 / 6 was a bit of a mess on the front-end, ymmv. There was plenty of Backend / Rails API work at the time in Berlin, so no biggy. It's pretty rare that one person can be good at BE and FE, though there's much blagging of this fullstack aspect - better to understand how to interact with the customer and their needs before this IMHO. A team of 2 is still a small team afterall. Back in the Rails 2/3/4 days I used to quite like the Prototype coupling, and ease of creating rich/interactive front-ends. However, I full got the argument that this coupling was too much. Jquery still sometimes get used. I slightly worry that they'll break things with rails 8 and the momentum gained with rails 7 will be lost. Lots of rails work is now done in eastern europe, phillipines, india. Not as many people using it western europe now.

I've used React before and have found using Turbo frames and Stimulus to be like a breath of fresh air, especially how well they integrate with the rest of the Rails stack. Other people have said that it can quickly get messy and React is needed for anything complex. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "North West Ruby User Group (NWRUG)" group.
