Rails didn't load 286 KB of Javascript to display static text and sidebar though.

If you go to https://redwoodjs.com/ right now and disable Javascript on the page, you will get the same amazing fast experience at literally 5-10x less size. The only difference? The sidebar in the tutorial will not display properly.

JS enabled: 403KB transferred, 1.0MB resources. Of them: 276 KB JS, 82 KB images, 27 KB custom fonts, 10 KB HTML, 5.5 KB CSS

JS disabled: 99 KB transferred, 142 KB resources. Of them: (0 JS, 0 custom fonts), 82 KB images, 10 KB HTML, 5.5 KB CSS

Part of our story is to make sure we only bundle what matters... We're not there yet, but we're going to make this first class and intuitive.
