That's good, because I've been deliberately ignoring pop webdev technology in hopes this would happen.

I thought this had to be satire when I opened the page. Now I'm still not sure.

I thought it was a joke. and completely ignored it when i first saw the headline. only later someone else referred to DHH's hotwire. it clicked me that it is the New Magic thing.

I am still wondering if there is any benchmark presenting some objective facts

I'm also still not sure. Also thought this is satire.

Wait, we still need to add a cgi-bin to this

cgi-bin has been rebranded serverless: running external processes to the web server.

web development has jumped the shark, I thought this was a parody at first.

reminds me of the http://vanilla-js.com/ which is actually a parody, but also... not?
