  So how does it work? Does it use a virtual dom? How is the performance? What about the bundle size? The answers to those questions should be on your home page. Also it would be great if you included it here: https://github.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark https://github.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark

    Mint uses React as the view layer anything else is done by either the compiler or the runtime(1). So the bundle size should be around the same as react or smaller (the compiler can output optimized code) and the performance is the same.

      Thanks. I skimmed over the docs but didn't find that mentioned anywhere. Why not use something faster and smaller than React though like Preact or Inferno?

        It is possible, but it turns out they are not a 100% compatible.

          Not 100% compatible but much faster and lightweight: https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/current.html https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/current.ht...

  Sorry, totally insubstantial comment, but noticed a typo towards the bottom. s/interopability/interoperability

  What does the next keyword do? I see it in examples, but couldn't find anything about in the docs (or maybe I overlooked it)
  • gdotdesign 7y ago
    It steps the sate forward, think of it as `this.setState`.

      Got it - thanks!
