Right!!? I’m really tired of listening the old argument: “but the screen blinks when I click on a link”. Which is not true if you’re using phoenix to render HTML on the server! Actually quite the opposite, if you refresh your JS-rich SPAs, you’ll see that having lots of JS to be executed is not that shiny!
I know the argument presented is a very dumb, and there’s lots of other arguments to use a client side framework. My point is that we really do not need a lot of JS to do what people are doing with a lot of JS…
And common! Most of these SPAs and reactive frameworks rely on something that is really bad and hard to manage: A HUGE AND HAIRY STATE!!!
I really advocate a lot for server-side rendering and I think drab is going in a interesting direction to solve some problems you might get when you need some richer interface.
Thanks @grych!
