Stimulus is a lightweight JavaScript framework created by Basecamp that adds interactivity to HTML by connecting elements to controller classes without taking over the entire front end, in contrast to full frameworks like React or Vue. It's often used alongside Turbo (as part of the Hotwire stack) by web developers building server-rendered applications, particularly in Ruby on Rails projects, who want minimal JavaScript overhead. It emphasizes progressive enhancement of existing HTML markup.
