Compiling away the framework.

WHAT IT DOES DIFFERENTLY

Compiles components into direct, efficient code at build time.

WHAT THAT MEANS

There is no framework runtime shipped to the browser.

WHAT THAT PROVIDES

Smaller bundles Faster startup Less work in the browser

WHY THAT MATTERS HERE

On modest devices and metered connections, shipping less matters directly.

WHAT WRITING IT LOOKS LIKE

Close to plain markup, styling and scripting, with reactivity added.

WHAT REACTIVITY LOOKS LIKE

Assigning to a variable updates the interface.

WHY THAT IS APPEALING

Less ceremony than alternatives.

WHAT SCOPED STYLES PROVIDE

Styles in a component applying only to that component, automatically.

WHAT THE TRADE-OFFS ARE

A smaller ecosystem Fewer developers familiar with it Fewer libraries and examples

WHAT TO WEIGH

Technical merits against the practical question of who maintains it.

WHAT IT SUITS

Performance-sensitive interfaces Widgets embedded in other pages Teams willing to work with a smaller ecosystem
