We're breaking up with JavaScript front ends
Sort of sounds like Apache Wicket (https://wicket.apache.org/). I used it for a few projects in the mid-late 2000s. I really liked it being server side and the concept of having object-oriented HTML (code paired with HTML snippets). I haven't had a need to use it since 2014, so haven't kept up with the project.

Can I use Java to build a website?
You can use Java for Backend and Frontend. A relative new kid on the block for Frontend is Qute. The general keyword you are searching for is Java Templating Engine. Specific examples would be Thymeleaf or FreeMarker. There are some framework, which offer a lot more than templating like Vaadin or Wicket. Some are just specifications like Jakarta Faces with some of their implementations MyFaces or Mojarra.

Getting back into Java after 12-15 years away?
Perhaps, a good competitor for JSF is Apache Wicket.

Options for high level front-end frameworks for Java developers
I have used https://wicket.apache.org/ in the past and I think it matches your needs. It's a simple mvc that focuses on the actual java code writing and uses html only on the layout of your components in your page.

Spas Were a Mistake
Is this the Wicket you're referring to? https://wicket.apache.org/
What's the best intro you know to how it's components work, and the benefits and tradeoffs over other approaches?
-
Simple UI for a Spring Boot application
You should consider Apache Wicket. It is widely used for business apps.

Lona – A web framework for responsive web apps in full Python without JavaScript
I think Apache Wicket takes a similar approach for Java? https://wicket.apache.org/
I like the approach, and it's good to see more projects in this space.
-
The Apache Attic
I believe Wicket is somewhat similar (and still actively developed).

What's New in Rails 7
Applications generated with Rails 7 will get Turbo and Stimulus (from Hotwire) by default, instead of Turbolinks and UJS. Hotwire is a new approach that delivers fast updates to the DOM by sending HTML over the wire.

Ask HN: What tech stack would you use to build a new web app today?
For Ajax-y stuff, I am really excited by the new crop of "HTML-as-a-Service" or "HTML-over-the-wire."

anyone have full tutorial how to upgrade from rails 6.1 to rails 7 ?
For all the turbo/stimulus/hotwire mix, you want to add a new feature just for the sake of adding it? or do you have a use case that fits the feature? if you have then you probably already have an implementation with a different technology (stimulus reflex? some custom websockets or ajax implementation? something with anycable?) and you have to check how to migrate from that technology to hotwire. If you just want to use the feature with no real need for it to practice then just pick any tutorial from the internet (like the intro in the official website https://hotwired.dev).

Ask HN: What are you favorite goto frameworks when writing Web Aplications
I was recently interested in similar topic. Here are 3 similar solutions I found:
* https://htmx.org/
* https://unpoly.com/
* https://hotwired.dev/
My personal preference is Unpoly (the idea of "layers" is awesome). But the best explanation of concept as a whole (HATEOAS, keeping app state on server using partial page updates, etc) is at HTMX homepage, and in these essays:

Hotwire isn't only for Rails
At the end of 2020 the Basecamp team released a collection of Javascript libraries called Hotwire. Modern web stacks have popularized javascript-rendered front ends and JSON transmissions. Hotwire's primary motivation is to reduce the Javascript footprint and allow application front ends to be created in primarily HTML. It pairs very nicely with the Ruby on Rails ideology and is often demonstrated in that context. I aim to write a series on how Hotwire can be used in any application to simplify development and reduce the need for heavy Javascript downloads. Hotwire currently consists of two javascript libraries: Turbo and Stimulus. The first part of this series introduces Turbo.

How do you handle views?
I've been doing that a while until I just got sock of the JS spagetti and often duplicated code and went full on Angular CSR and never looked back. That being said, I've been seeing a lot recently about Laravel's Livewire and Symfony and Ruby on Rail's integration with Hotwire (stimulus+turbo).
