DHH will still claim majority of apps are just CRUD app (I agree on this) and Ruby Rails is sufficient. Hotwire (aka the magic) will always be updated to bridge the gap.

People will still talk about Rust and Clojure being the future, but they use javascript in their day jobs.

On the positive side, someone will help to abolish webpack and their friends in 2025. no more 200mb npm install.

Ohh yess.... I've been learning Rails lately (and stimulus, hotwire, et all) and ohhh my goddd... things feel so easy and simple. It's hard to go back to real life and deal with a giant mess of redux, rxjs, an freaking complex NIH libraries each in its own monorepo deployed across 3 microservices for doing just plain old freaking *FORMS*.

But hey, I cannot say this openly or I might be fired, declared an heretic dinosaur and lynched to death.
