I have been working on this for some time now and thought I should post it here.
I have enjoyed working with React in the past, and I love Ruby, so I thought I'd implement something like React in Ruby, and this is the result. Components are written in Haml and transformed into Ruby. Everything runs on the server, and there's no need to write any JavaScript.
It's pretty fast, and latency is usually low enough nowadays when you can deploy apps anywhere in the world.
It might not be suitable for all types of web apps, but it might be perfect for some. One of the main benefits of using something like this is that you don't have to implement an API to update state on the server; you can talk directly to a database from within a callback handler.
I thought that if the project got some attention, maybe I would get motivated to keep working on it.
