Last year I wrote a blog post, “I created the same application with Rails and Javascript”, following a trend of posts where the author Sunil Sandhu did the same comparing a few frontend Javascript libraries.My approach in that blog post was using Rails to render all HTML and then using a bit of Javascript with Stimulus to recreate the same application behavior.A few weeks ago, I found a tweet from Chris McCord, the creator of Phoenix Framework for Elixir, where he was showcasing a new functionality coming with Phoenix 1.5, he wrote a small Twitter clone without Javascript, it was beautiful.
