Throughout history, empires rise and fall. Throughout web development, frameworks rise and fall. In 2026, we are firmly in "late stage React", where young devs can't remember the world any other way, and older devs are keeping their eye on the horizon for what's next.

I'd like to introduce you to Ripple, show you around its syntax and philosophy and stimulate your mind out of the Present and into the Future.

To be clear, I am not the author of Ripple, but I do work with him.
