It is real :)

Here is the author of Gea Stack. There is no browser in the device, none of these devices could run one with 512KB of RAM (+2-8MB of PSRAM). We instead transpile TypeScript and CSS…

Yes, exactly. We also have iOS and macOS targets, so a direct competitor to React Native as well.

Thank you! I am the guy on the video. We will be open sourcing Gea Stack next month, and in the meantime I am showcasing the examples we've built so far. The underlying framework, …

I am pondering about this, but would love to see an example to make it more concrete. The way I see it is that this reactivity is completely on the compiler's side, and there's no …

Yeah, sure :)

As an open-source builder and a streamer, I'm afraid I will leak keys on stream any time soon. And fun story—I did leak the API keys to my smart lights once, and the company (Govee…

Feel free to question anything you like and I'll help you find the answers. This is a well-trodden path. All aspects of object mutation and its effects are obvious and well-known. …

I don't want to recurse into philosophy but one could argue an assignment is more declarative than a function call :) Solid is function calls everywhere, and extra code, vs plain o…

I see your point. I designed Gea to be one-way binding only first, and then decided to add two-way binding for props passed as objects. People can still easily only use one-way bin…

Thank you for the discussion, I find it very interesting and I'd love to understand how you think. Why do you think setStore and produce let you model your application more succinc…

It's like get-ah (but without the t).

Gea in fact supports regular HTML strings out of the box—that's what the compiler turns the JSX into anyway. However IDE tooling is still in the works for syntax highlighting regul…

Heh, sorry, I (the author) wasn't the one who created the post. But the idea is reactivity in JS shouldn't require new syntax. Gea works best with the compiler, I documented a non-…

Very interesting benchmark results... well, I guess that's proxies for you. Getters in Gea are designed to be used as computed properties by the components' rendering cycles, and i…

Thank you! Very interesting insight—I'll have a look.

Thanks for your insights. I was originally hesitant about the performance of proxies, too, but they turned out to be great. The benchmarks ( https://geajs.com/benchmark-report.html…

[dead]

Because JavaScript _is_ the language and people know it. I never understood the concept of a "React developer", for example, although I saw many junior devs who were very well-vers…

I wish I could bring it to React! That would save so many developers and so much natural resources! I've been working on the library for 6 months, and it's built upon my previous l…

Thank you! And you are right. I hadn't submitted it to the original js-framework-benchmark repo yet, but I just added the benchmark code on gea's repo. You can find it on https://g…

I understand this bit. The bit that I don't understand is how you compare the two invented concepts like `setStore` and `produce` to just `state.users[2]?.loggedIn = false`. To me …

Yeah afaik React Compiler doesn't really replace virtual DOM.

In fact the precedent to Gea, my previous framework erste made use of `pug` tagged template literals! I started with that base, but then decided to ship with JSX instead. This woul…
