Completely seriously, and I don’t think this is particularly controversial: outperforming React is not impressive. React was never particularly good at performance—VDOM is fundamentally overhead, and there are a variety of faster and lighter techniques employed by various competitors, and even among VDOM libraries it’s not as fast as it could be. React sold itself as fast initially, but what it was faster than (rebuilding the entire DOM on any update) was a strawman.
It’s not hard to be faster than React while exposing broadly similar functionality. If you’re making something for your own usage only, it’s even easier to beat it.
- gulugawa 2mo agoI actually agree with you. I was making the point that not using LLM assistance to code produces decent results. Also, I'm planning to release my changes as a framework that can be used for a variety of interactive websites.
- shimman 2mo agoI don't disagree, I'm always curious if there are new techniques out there to adopt. It's just hard to find out about them because as you said, sometimes they are bespoke single use tools that aren't easily shared/discussed about.
- gulugawa 2mo agoThis site has excellent articles on learning to use native web technologies with minimal dependencies. I've found them to be useful resources when learning how to create web components. https://gomakethings.com/guides/?filter=html https://gomakethings.com/guides/?filter=html
