> *"always bet on Javascript" I've been keeping all the modern javascript frameworks at arms distance, because I've always preferred to bet on HTML, for the client at least. That said, I've no issues with heavy reliance on JS on the developer machine, but I always prefer pages that can work without the reliance on JS. So, it seems opportune to ask: Is there a JS framework around that actually compiles to HTML and CSS…

So this is what Svelte does, the app gets built at build time so you don't need the include any script in the browser for it to run. I remember RH talking about the React Hooks inspiration thing, so whether the API will go more in that direction (and eventually be a runtime thing), I'm not too sure.

Rails burned out in under 10 years. The reason I say React will be gone in another 5 years is because it's already been popular for 5 and the muttering has started. Do you remember Adobe Flex? React is following a shockingly similar path and timeline.

> Rails burned out in under 10 years It may not be the glory days, but Rail's is still going strong 13 years later. React, however, has reached a popularity many times larger than RoR ever did. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=r... There has never been a project (I can think of), other than the Linux kernel, with the resources that companies and developers have put behind React. > Do you rem…

My main gripes are no TypeScript support and going to mustache-like templates after working with JSX/TSX is a step back for me. Also losing React Native, which is non-issue if you're just developing a web app.

when I click through, it seems to just sit there going "loading Svelte compiler..." forever. Tried both firefox/chrome

Ah ok. Maybe it was working in my region and still broken in others :(

contents _can_ change, not _will_ change. So this approach should update fewer cells per update cycle.

For a realtime view of stock symbols, it's highly likely they will change. And a hashmap lookup is not free. You really have to profile the code to figure out what's expensive. Maybe there is no scaling wrt. the number of nodes that change because repainting/relayouting is more expensive than updating the DOM.
