New Year, New Rails

The new version of Rails, version 7.0, marks a significant departure from its predecessors, offering a more unified application architecture that eliminates the need for heavy-weight front-end frameworks or custom JavaScript code to provide a reactive user experience in the browser. The introduction of Hotwire, which combines Turbo, Stimulus, and Strada libraries, aims to simplify front-end development by abstracting away complexity through innovative conventions and integrations with existing Rails features like ActionCable and ActiveRecord. This approach provides a more Rails-y experience, aligning closely with the framework's doctrine of optimizing for programmer happiness.
