Ten Years of Frontend

by Dave Kimura —

In this episode, we look at where we were years ago and the journey where we have landed today. Over the past 10 years, much has changed with our approach to client interactions and in the episode we explore my favorite and current approach. This episode marks a significant milestone in my journey, as I’ve consistently released one episode every week for the past decade! https://www.driftingruby.com/episodes/ten-years-of-frontend

This episode can’t be complete, up-to-date, or useful enough without including Fukuoka 2023 award winning Opal Ruby and Fukuoka 2025 award winning Glimmer DSL for Web. It’s very myopic. This is exactly the problem with Frontend Development in Rails. It sucks because it doesn’t take advantage of Ruby just like Rails does in the Backend. Hotwire is just a trick, not real Frontend Development. Stimulus gets ugly when sophistication of Frontend interactions grow. Frontend Ruby is the way out. It oughta get covered more. Many Ruby devs are too lazy to learn and contribute to when it ironically requires the least code possible to implement Frontend interactions.
