Correct me if I am wrong, but this is basically server-side rendering with a smart system to re-render some component ("island") on the client ?

Yes, that is the idea. Fresh is primarily a routing and templating system with built in client hydration.

I really like the idea of Deno and Fresh's philosophy also resonates with me (I'm a Rails guy). I would like to see an integrated ORM (can be an existing one) and testing framework though, before I would consider it a "full-stack" web framework.

Not sure about ORM, but Postgres.js[0] works on Deno. For testing, Deno includes a built-in test runner and assertions via the std[1].

> But client-side rendering is expensive; the framework often will ship hundreds of kilobytes of client-side JavaScript to users on each request. These JS bundles often do little more than rendering static content that could just as well have been served as plain HTML.

server-side rendering for each request in V8 might be more expensive to host than client side rendering in V8?

for a properly-chunked app, hopefully most requests for the larger vendor bundles are cached/JITed, and each request doesnt actually download much extra JS.

there are also many frameworks faster than React (Solid, Marko, etc)

Yes, this is something I want to add in the future. We're just not quite there yet. My current plan is:

1. first class styling plugins

2. synchronized island state

3. built in data persistence

Quoted post unavailable.

I would assume the idea is that this is native to the deno runtime whereas some other frameworks like NextJS and Remix are "node native?"

Isn't DENO just AWS Lambda@Edge but you can't use anything other than JS/TS?

edit: whoa whats with these downvotes? and im being accused of being a troll for asking a legitimate question? I am trying to evaluate this and my comments are being flagged for no reason Dang

This is the second or third time just asking innocent questions on a YC linked company resulted in mass downvotes and flagging.
