I think eventually we’ll see a popular framework come around that provides a simpler alternative to React but with optimal ergonomics. For me there’s no going back to the Ruby on Rails world after using Typescript. I’ve used sorbet a bit but I think it’s pretty rough. Someone needs to put together a traditional MVC web framework for Typescript. It won’t be able to do everything that a React app can, but it will handle most needs just fine.
Yeah, there needs to be more emphasis on server-side frameworks in general; preferably, built from the ground up with dynamic front-end interactivity in mind. Maybe they integrate HTMX or similar in a way that allows you to write everything as components or modules that can be seamlessly rendered as a collection in the context of assembling a full page when needed, or individually when a partial/dynamic update is required. So, that code is write-once.
I think these are beginning to emerge. But, bonus points if these were abstracted in a way that it's the same framework (idioms, APIs, etc) and you could just choose your preferred language.
