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
