I'd like to correct some misconceptions you seem to have regarding React.

React is written in JavaScript. It runs exclusively in JavaScript. If you've somehow managed to run it outside a JavaScript runtime then I'd actually be delighted to learn about how.

> all I really give a shit about is its shadow DOM implementation

React doesn't have a shadow DOM.

Well, react-rails is how. And it's messy as hell.

React-rails doesn't run JavaScript outside of a JavaScript runtime, FYI. It just provides hooks for communicating between Rails and JavaScript.
