Last September, I gave a talk at my local Ruby meetup titled "Intro To Ruby in the Browser" about how to use Ruby for Frontend Development in Rails as a complete replacement for JavaScript as per Matz's RubyConf 2022 Keynote Speech. If you have not had a chance to watch the talk's video, please do so now: https://andymaleh.blogspot.com/2023/09/montrealrb-sep-2023-intro-to-ruby-in.html
In essence, I gave an introductory tutorial of how to use Ruby in the Browser using 2 options: Ruby WASM and Opal Ruby, walking attendees step by step through introductory examples, including how to share Ruby code between the Backend and Frontend. I concluded the talk by mentioning advanced techniques for using Ruby in the Browser including a then upcoming project called Glimmer DSL for Web that would make Ruby in the Browser the simplest, most intuitive, most straight-forward, and most productive Software Engineering experience in Frontend Development in any Programming Language or Technology.
Well, The future is now! Glimmer DSL for Web (Ruby in the Browser Web GUI Frontend Library) just had its 0.2.2 Beta Release, and is nearly feature-complete for a 1.0.0 release. In fact, I will present it in person at the March 6, 2024 Montreal.rb Ruby Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/montrealrb/events/298445180/. I will let you discover it and learn more about it through the code examples and usage instructions included below straight out of the project's README. Happy Glimmering on the Web!!!
