The whole thing he explains in the post: he wants an all-rounder like Rails but which covers the SPA/JS side.

I think many of us have realized that the SPA, which introduces an entire second application into your stack, isn't that cost effective. I'm more interested in turbolinks and if absolutely necessary, maybe something like http://instantclick.io to get an 80/20 payoff.

For folks here doing startups, imagine the speed boost of maintaining one less entire application than your competitors.

Turbolinks and some dirty jquery here and there is all I really ever needed.

Everything more than that just feels to much like having multiple code bases.
