How did you think this compares to Ruby on Rails turbo links?

Because both hx-boost and Turbolinks intercept anchor links and send ajax request for the body content and swap them.

If you use a so called masterpage and have a tag in it for the partials you can use innerHTML to swap those parts and voila you have a SPA. Of course you use Ajax calls for this because a normal link would switch the whole page content and thats not what you want.
