Well, RJS was the more-or-less sanctioned way of doing interactive apps in Rails for a while.

Even though it had all these issues, it was simpler for developers. Now it's deprecated.

What are the best in class techniques for developers eager to do secure yet highly interactive apps in Rails today?

it's still easy to do interactive apps! just learn JS and throw away RJS

This suggestion is rather naive and impractical. Most people do know JS. It's a rather painful way to develop reasonable UIs. Not even jQuery is abstracting enough these days (for this kind of work).

Please make useful suggestions and cut down on specious remarks. RJS is not in use for a long time. This article did not even merit the first page, except it's a slow weekend.

your first question looked like "if not RJS then what". Now i just don't understand what are you talking about, what "interactive" is for you.

Oh, so if not raw JS, you don't "understand" what other possible libraries might be use to design modern usable intractive web apps?

Way to go downvoting for that, too - shows real depth. I shall not try make you "understand" the existence of this fast-expanding space.
