What's with this 'touch grass'. Is this the new valley jargon?

I'm not a zoomer, and you literally posted "I am person who rushes". Take a second after touching grass, then proofread your posts.

I appreciate constructive feedback, but the assumption that the docs were rushed with an LLM isn't accurate. I've spent over a year on this project. That said, I hear you on the messaging and I'm working to improve it. Cheers.

If anyone’s exploring Rust + React, I’ve been building something similar on the rendering side. react-vello [1] exposes Vello (a Rust GPU renderer) as a React renderer via WASM + WebGPU, so you can draw shapes and text declaratively while Rust handles the rendering in the browser.

Rust + React is a beautiful combination. For my project, I use Rust for the actually complicated logic that needs to be correct and performant. And then I just use React for the UI. It works pretty great. The communication between the two with wasm-bindgen and tsify is just so easy. It's almost as if they're the same language. It's really crazy, honestly. A feat of engineering.

React Vello seems super cool, by the way. Thanks for sharing it!

You're right about the messaging being confusing, I've been writing everything solo, so I'm definitely open to PRs that help with the copy. To clarify: "Rust-powered" refers to the server runtime itself, not just the bundler. The actual HTTP server, RSC renderer, and routing are all written in Rust (using an embedded V8 engine to execute your React components). It's not just Rolldown doing the bundling. On the npm in…

Sigh, people these days just assuming any coherent response must have been generated by an LLM is tiring.

> 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.

I never "learned" react because the "create react app" would literally never install for me in the early days. There were literally so many dependencies I never got it to build as a novice, I tried svelte everything worked and I got to spend that time building. I can only speak for Svelte, in Svelte 3/4 it was so dead simple that I built my first basic webapp with 0 javascript, css or html experience in 3 days. By we…

Use Vite. It was a misstep by the React team to continue to recommend create-react-app long after it was deprecated, but Vite is what's commonly used today.

Similar to Dioxus Native I imagine?
