Introducing ReActionView
summary
A new ActionView‑compatible ERB engine built on Herb parses ERB into an interleaved syntax tree, runs in Ruby, Node.js and the browser, and replaces string compilation with a node visitor so templates are HTML-aware ERB parser compiled into safe output. It ships a formatter, language server and linter (about 80 new lint rules including 9 accessibility rules), provides pinpoint error pages, in‑browser view outlines and jump‑to‑source, and works in Rails via a bundle add + generator.
