Especially if you couple it with HTMX / Alpine.js you get a really good stack that covers all the dynamic page updates people are getting used to, without adopting massive frameworks.

I just started with HTMX and so far I think it's really promising. Similar things happening with Rails and Hotwire.

It took a while for these frameworks to accept that JS and the frontend are also important aspects of the stacks, and hard to avoid if you want to build modern applications. But now that they're picking up, heavy JS frameworks start making less sense.
