Don't Call It a Comeback
summary
Chronicles Rails' last 10–15 years, arguing Rails never died and highlighting concrete shifts: adoption of Hotwire, deprecation of webpacker in favor of JS bundling and CSS bundling, Rails 7.1 released, and react-rails used in production at Podia. Cites a 20:1 lines-of-code win migrating from Enterprise Java, a conference that sells out in 45 minutes, and a plea for production-quality component libraries and gems; urges contributing fixes, writing short docs or posts, and reusing Rails’ built-in account and file workflows.
