I get the rush to provide technical comparisons to something that was just revealed five minutes ago, but none of what you just said is actually how Hotwire or Turbo works. There's no client DOM in memory on the server, there's no html buttons that call native code.

There are forms being submitted, there are normal requests happening, there are templates being rendered on a per-request basis (just like a full page load).

This is like a normal web application that renders HTML, from the perspective of how the server works. Just as scalable as every other Rails application that renders HTML. Be that GitHub or Shopify or Zendesk or Basecamp or HEY or any of the many, many other apps that have long ago definitively proven that Rails Scales.

Although I do find the commentary that the current #1 comment on the HN thread is literally a "bUt DoES iT SCaLE??" take, based on a misunderstanding of how this works. All is indeed as it's always been

Looks like link should be https://docs.stimulusreflex.com/ (the root domain you linked doesn't go anywhere).
