Back-end languages are coming to the front-end
I'd love to see this approach make more headway in the Django community. Based on the last DjangoCon it seems like the community is coalescing around HTMX.
This tool does play very nicely with Django's templating engine; you can just have HTMX re-render a particular template block on the server, and send down that updated block. The migration path is quite clean; you just wrap your "HTMX-updated" template block in a `hx-post` div.
Having not gone too deep on HTMX, I'm interested in folks' thoughts on where it's lacking vs. LiveView and Hotwire. One area I can see is performance; Elixir is going to be faster than Django, and so if you're trying to handle high session counts over websockets. But the impression I get is that HTMX is a bit more light-weight, so I'm wondering if there's usecases that can't be met with it vs. LiveView.
Other Django libraries that haven't quite seen as much uptake:
We have https://github.com/edelvalle/reactor, and a port of Hotwire: https://github.com/hotwire-django but both of these don't seem to have much adoption (yet!).

Reactive Clojure: You don't need a web framework, you need a web language
Thank you for posting those, I wanted to post them but I don't comment often (). Wanted to chip in another contemporary: edelvalle/reactor, which is inspired by LiveView[0].
[0]: https://github.com/edelvalle/reactor
I am using Hotwire for a project, and I'm learning Elixir and Phoenix on the side. Finding edelvalle/reactor was immediately helpful to me though, because I cut my teeth on Python/Django, so reading a Python reference implementation helps me learn nuts and bolts of libraries, faster. (so, I figure that this might help someone else grok how these approaches work.)

How to combine Rails's Ajax support and Stimulus
If this sounds like a barebones version of notable frameworks like Elixir's Phoenix LiveView, Rails's StimulusReflex or Hotwire Turbo, PHP's LiveWire, Django's Reactor... well, you're right! (Bonus: my colleague @jgaskins built a LiveView clone for Crystal)

Is the default importmap method unrealistic in the most popular real world use cases?
You can't use additional CSS packages (like Flowbite) with the official tailwindcss-rails gem. According to this answered issue, you should either give up importmap and use a bundler, or use a CSS file from CDN - which is not ideal (unnecessary classes won't be purged this way).

How to bundle assets in a Rails engine

User notifications with Rails, Noticed, and Hotwire
Thanks to the magic of Rails, the scaffold generator gives us almost everything we need to start creating messages and associating them with users. Because we are using Tailwind via the tailwindcss-rails gem, the scaffold generator also includes some nice looking base styles too.

Pagination and infinite scrolling with Rails and the Hotwire stack
Because we are using Tailwind via the tailwindcss-rails gem, the scaffold generator applies some basic Tailwind styling to generated views, so we have nice looking Widget pages right out of the box.

Rails 7 Tailwind Scaffold Question
When you generate an app with rails new --css=tailwind without a JS option, you get the tailwindcss-rails gem which includes the new scaffold generators. When you pass in a JavaScript option as well, you get Tailwind installed via cssbundling-rails, which does not include built-in generators since it offers more than just Tailwind as an option.
