Minor note: the linked url brings to a placeholder page.

The graphic on the page links to the github repo.

Thanks! That definitely wasn't apparent to me. I think the problem is with the UI in that it states "New Website Coming Soon." I quickly exited the tab and did a search on google for the github repo.

From the README

> Inferno is much smaller in size, 7kb vs 45kb gzip.

Given that you're building the kind of app that is complicated enough to require a state management library, a virtual dom implementation, etc... does this 38kb really matter? Is anyone really shipping commercial apps where 38kb on page load would be that meaningful of a performance gain? Especially if you're doing serverside rendering and requiring react asynchronously?

I assume the argument is going to be that on mobile the parsing time for 7kb of JS vs 45kb of JS is going to be significant.

Now, it's all about Svelte vs Inferno. I like Svelte more than Inferno.

It's all about a Svelte, a framework that came to light a week ago and isn't in production anywhere that matters? Come on...

A week is about 6 months in JS-years.

Man I can't keep up with all of these. Is there a list that anyone is keeping track of for javascript UI frameworks? I suppose it would require daily updating.

I like to refer to http://stateofjs.com/ and http://todomvc.com.
