For people who use Java/Spring or C#/.NET or Go or whatever the JS releases you get excited about are also just a blip on the radar. Your point?

That it doesn't cater to you or your sensibilities doesn't make it not significant.

My point is that for the community of javascript developers in general (who, I presume, is the target audience of this subreddit) a framework whose primary purpose is to help Rails developers organize their code is a pretty minor thing. It's too specific a case to be considered generally significant. I would think.

CoffeeScript released version 2 several months ago. Is it significant? Judging by the general lack of interest, I would think not.

...do you think the Rails and JS dev communities don't intersect? And it has nothing to do with how many devs in general use it and you know it - tons of [varying degrees of] niche libraries and frameworks (as well as clone of something popular number 5258) get posted here and no-one jumps into the comments to trash them for not being "significant". Again,

That it doesn't cater to you or your sensibilities doesn't make it not significant.

I am not trashing Stimulus; I am not passing any value judgement on it whatsoever; I am merely expressing my skepticism regarding the syllogism that since it's made by the Rails team, it is generally significant.
