  Browser version guards[1] seem a bit scary: it just does basic user-agent parsing rather than actual feature detection, which is not exactly a great thing for the web as a whole.

  Nothing to add but, YAY!

  Go Rails!

  To paraphrase Steve Jobs, 'Rails is like a glass of ice-water in React Hell!

  See edge guides (https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/7_2_release_notes.html) for some highlights.

  I'm looking forward to using some of the developer experience stuff, such as default RuboCop or default GH actions for new apps. Not sure if it's everyone's cup of tea though.

  I am hoping we are going to get a glimpse of 8.0 or 8.0 beta in September RailsWorld.

  Also wondering about YJIT. It has been a relatively quiet year so far. Hopefully we have something exciting baking for 3.4

  Rails changed my life. I've yet to have as much fun making applications or tools as those golden RoR days. Such a cool community.

  This is such a big release with many great changes, I love it.
