The Future of Rails as a Full-Stack Framework powered by Hotwire
summary
Hotwire with Rails 7 ships as the default and claims to replace much front-end duplication by using Turbo, Stimulus, Turbo Streams and server-rendered HTML; about half the room already runs it in production. Projects mentioned include StimulusReflex (3.5 pending), CableReady (5.0 released) and a compatibility layer Turbo Power that ports 40+ actions into Turbo streams. New tooling includes a Stimulus LSP for editor autocomplete and a community site hotwire.io to centralize docs and examples.
