Revisiting the Hotwire Landscape after Turbo 8
summary
Turbo 8 brings Turbo 8 morphing and server-driven page refreshes plus model broadcasts, shifting overlap with StimulusReflex and prompting a recommendation to avoid starting new projects with StimulusReflex today while upstream Hotwire consolidation happens. The ecosystem ships CableReady 5 and StimulusReflex 3.5; effort focuses on migrating useful patterns into Turbo, improving docs and tooling, and shipping developer tools like Stimulus LSP 1.0, a Turbo LSP plan, a browser extension, and an interactive asset setup wizard to standardize Rails Hotwire apps.
