Update on the JS front-end thingy:
I think the rails folks did something fun: hotwire works pretty well in giving the impression of an SPA but with server-side rendering
Since I'm using a clojure stack I had to write some code just so I had to render less than needed when a turbo-frame request shows up, but it wasn't strictly necessary. Most interesting aspect of it is that I was able to develop like an OG web app (productivity up, complexity down) and then plug it later in an afternoon
So I spent some time this morning, yet again, going through the motions of a react stack, then Vue. Both felt too big, the amount of code I'd write was far bigger than the perceived benefits
Then there's (wrapped) webpack, the test stack, bundling and minifying, sometimes transpilation... Half of these tools will be replaced in two years or so. Some already are outdated, but I wanted to cut off time by going to tools I'm already familiar with
