Glimmer DSL for Opal Made Peace with Rails 6

Glimmer DSL for Opal has intentionally skipped over Rails 6 in the past due to its absolutely horrible Ruby-community-betraying webpacker default (making the terrible Node.js technology required for a Ruby app was the worst idea ever.. I don't know what the Rails folks were thinking if they were even thinking at all instead of just blindly following the JavaScript/ES6+ hype like every miserable non-Rubyist out there), but given that the Rails team have recently redeemed themselves with Rails 7 retiring the pathetic webpacker, Glimmer DSL for Opal has been updated to work with Rails 6 too in addition to Rails 7 and Rails 5, finally!

There is a new Rails 6 sample app built with it too:


Here is one of the samples (Hello, Table!):

Happy Glimmering!
