Description-en: following links in your Rails web application faster
Turbolinks makes following links in your Rails web application faster. Instead
of letting the browser recompile the JavaScript and CSS between each page
change, it keeps the current page instance alive and replaces only the body
and the title in the head. Think CGI vs persistent process.
.
This is similar to pjax, but instead of worrying about what element on the
page to replace, and tailoring the server-side response to fit, the entire
body is replaced. This means that you get the bulk of the speed benefits from
pjax (no recompiling of the JavaScript or CSS) without having to tailor the
server-side response. It just works.
