It's like beating a dead horse. React is the literal worst of all the modern JavaScript frameworks and yet that's what everybody insists on using. Vue is light years ahead of it (and will be even further ahead when the new Vapor mode is released in 3.6). Svelte is ahead. Solid is ahead. Heck, even Marko is ahead.

> React is the literal worst of all the modern JavaScript frameworks and yet that's what everybody insists on using. That's rather amusing. "Am I wrong? No it's the rest of the world!" How are these other frameworks so far ahead? I've used a couple of frameworks and React has been the easiest from the big ones to wrap my head around.

    export class AppViewModel {
      @rx accessor message = new TextField()
    }

    export function App() {
      const vm = useViewModel(AppViewModel)

      return 
        
{vm.message.value}
        
      
    }

Nice project, thank you for working on it. I was trying to figure out the architecture, and I understand that it runs a Deno VM to execute JS on the backend? I was working on something similar, but for JVM backends [1]. And it seems there are a lot to learn from your project. For example, I'm using GraalVM that executes JS on the server. But I have to compile JS to WebAssembly because otherwise it produces a lot inte…

Thanks for checking it out! rari uses V8 (via deno_core bindings) embedded directly in the Rust runtime, not a full Deno VM. We execute JavaScript directly on V8 without compiling to WebAssembly. The key is that deno_core provides clean Rust bindings to V8's C++ API, which lets us run JS/TypeScript with minimal overhead. We handle module resolution, imports, and the React rendering pipeline all in Rust, then execute…
