2025 Reminder That DHH Is a Total Idiot!

Just a reminder that DHH is a total idiot for not adding any Frontend Ruby tech to the Rails stack in recent years. For the last 10 years, he's pretended to be "forward thinking" and "innovative", but has been closed-minded and standing in the way of progress. He is not what he used to be when he was open-minded in the minded-2000s and helped merge Merb with Rails. Nowadays, he is clearly biased towards JavaScript against Ruby to the detriment of the Ruby community. He claims he is "embracing" JavaScript for "pragmatic reasons", which might sound good on paper and might be something I'd normally agree with, but in fact is hurting the Ruby community significantly as illustrated by the attached JS code examples that many Ruby on Rails devs write nowadays as a result of DHH's closed-mindedness and stupidity. His claim for embracing JavaScript would only be true if there weren't huge differences between JavaScript and Ruby, alas there are enormous differences between the two languages. As such, DHH is an idiot and will always be called idiot unless he corrects his ways and apologizes for destroying the Ruby on Rails community by enabling devs to write code like the attached code in the last 10 years. The blood of such crappy code is on DHH's hands! Only bigger idiots would support DHH's idiotic position. They're all enemies of progress and innovation in the Ruby on Rails community. We all know Hotwire isn't enough, and the Stimulus bit is the part that many devs replace with React.js eventually or from the get-go because it doesn't solve everything effectively and conveniently. By the way, I do not necessarily propose that everyone needs Frontend Ruby as Hotwire could be sufficient for more basic Rails projects, but 100% of devs who use JS libraries like React/Angular/Ember/Vue/Svelte have zero excuses not using Frontend Ruby instead to cut their work by half with much better possibilities facilitated only by the Ruby programming language. The fact that DHH doesn't get that demonstrates how much out of depth and out of touch he's become in Ruby over the last 10 years.
