Stimulus: A modest JavaScript framework for the HTML you already have

I double that knockout is amazing (and never targeted "true" frontend space, like routing), but from my point of view, it is targeted towards more "rich" applications.

So while it is possible to use it the same way as Turbolinks (or React), it is kind of between, which makes it is harder to justify.

However, it works perfect. So, if you read this, and you have it in your project, don't rush to replace with shiny new stuff.

that was why it didn't catch on as much as it could have, in my opinion. The thing is, it was SO easy to rig routing together quickly yourself; I ended up doing dom event based routing for a lot of stuff. If you actually took the time to throw a real/reusable hash or pushstate based router on it would be pretty damn good....
