I used Turbolinks for the first time on a new Rails app about 2 years ago and was floored by the impact - it felt like a SPA in terms of no page loads and overall speed.

I'm convinced that this is the solution for the majority of use-cases, combined with selective usage of either React components or something like Stimulus where you need more sophisticated UI components.

Is there an equivalent of Turbolinks for something like Django? Or even for MVC PHP apps?

If you're a Laravel user you'll want to look into Inertia.js[1].

Turbolinks isn't specific to rails.

You can use Turbolinks on any front end project (I use it on my static sites), it has a standalone JS library.

As mentioned, you can use Turbolinks with django. There's also Intercooler/htmx, and Unpoly.

most people using livewire on laravel also use turbolinks, it's just a javascript plugin, it's not rails specific.
