While these are great especially for their ability to reload quickly due to hot loading, their absolute dependance on React means that if React eventually declines in popularity or utility, as all programming frameworks have done in the past, you are stuck with existing sites operating on a legacy system. More recently, there has been a class of static site generators built specifically around React, integrating jekyll-style frontmatter on every page. If you are looking to switch over to a faster, more modern, more flexible, and node-based SSG and are familiar with Jekyll, get started with spike's Jekyll Template. In addition, if you are asking your front-end developers to use Spike, you can feel comfortable that you are not asking them to learn a second programming language every time they interact with it - it's just Javascript, which they already know.Īdditionally, you can exactly replicate all of Jekyll's functionality using spike through the Spike Collections plugin. A project written in Ruby is simply not able to smoothly interoperate with these tools because they are written in different languages. As such, all of the large popular and stable front-end tools emerging from the community (grunt, gulp, webpack, postcss, yeoman, react, etc) are written in Javascript. Tools built for the front-end tend to be written in Javascript, since you must know Javascript if you are making websites, it's the only language you can use in a browser.
Middleman and Jekyll are great projects, but suffer from one fatal flaw - they are written in Ruby.
