I'm eager to replace my custom XHR/HTML update code (based on JS snippets with jQuery) with Hotwire. It always felt kind of "alien" in my RoR project, so I'm glad I can throw it away now.
However in general I think Hotwire is out-of-time. It's not because I'm a big fan of the Javascript ecosystem, but it's because I'm a big fan of the decentralised web, you know, blockchain, DLT, Web 3.0, DeFi... does it ring a bell? And that technology relies on JS/WASM apps in the browser.
That's a fair point, but how much of the web is actually using any of that? List 10 businesses that are and I can name 20 that aren't. And back and forth. It feels weird to dismiss an entire workflow because a portion of the web doesn't immediately have need for it.
On top of that, there's nothing stopping you from layering these features on top of your Hotwire implementation.
