Discussion on: React is not about performance

[Adaptive Shield Matrix]

React is 11 20 years old and it shows.

There are now much more specialized web frameworks that do specific functions much more better than general rendering library like React itself.

The main thing a web dev has to decide is that he wants/needs:

• SPA
• SSR
• SSG
• the flexibility of all 3 above

Best Frameworks / Libraries

• SSG -> Astro
• SPA in JSX Syntax -> Solid.js
• SPA without JSX -> Svelte, Vue
• SSR in JSX Syntax -> Qwik
• Simplified Next.js -> Remix
• all 3 -> Next.js, Sveltekit, Nuxt
• Do not want to do Frontend -> use HTMX generated by golang templates

Note on Performance

• Svelte and Solid.js -> are the most fastest and efficient ways how you can do SPAs
• Qwik -> is the fastest possible SSR solution, shipping near zero JS on page load.
