Thanks to the maintainers of Opal Ruby (Fukuoka Ruby 2023 Award Winner) for making it possible to build something as amazing as Glimmer DSL for Web today! You guys totally rock!!!

Thanks to everyone who attended my first talk about Glimmer DSL for Web at the Montreal.rb Ruby Meetup on March 6, 2024 last year as you guys literally witnessed history in the making! This is similar to discovering Ruby in the early days of Rails in the mid-2000s, but on the Frontend instead of the Backend. A couple of weeks ago, I got approval by my managers at work to start using Glimmer DSL for Web in my work Rails web app and to explore it as a replacement for React.js. So far, the results have been absolutely amazing! Truly, I feel a 200% improvement in productivity, maintainability, simplicity, and code readability in Ruby Frontend code compared to using plain JavaScript or React.js. I look forward to the bright future of Ruby in Frontend Development of Rails web applications, as enabled by Glimmer DSL for Web, now a Fukuoka Award Winning project!
