Can you explain more about what Github is doing? Are they using a particular tech stack? I’m curious if what alternatives there are for developing web applications.

I’ve used both Vue and React and sometimes I prefer templating and other times I prefer JSX depending on the complexity of the component.

I’m always curious about solutions that follow the “ Ship HTML, not too much, mostly plain.” mentality.

At its core, GitHub is a Ruby on Rails monolith. I can't speak to what they use for frontend interactivity, but the main application is a traditional rendered-on-server Rails app.

I think they use Turbolinks.
