After doing a lot of SPAs since the last few years, I can't help but appreciate the effectiveness and simplicity of purely server-rendered solutions, and conditionally sprinkle just sufficient enough javascript to add the beloved flair and interactivity we have come to expect from modern experiences. I was trying to actually use Fastify and Pugjs, for a fully server-rendered solution, with client-side JS only available on few pages(as per the need) and was amazed to clearly see how for we could go just with the classic web app approaches + modern vanilla JS.
Though, we wouldn't have probably reached here, without JS frameworks taking the plunge, trying to optimise, embrace what browser offered to replicate what server did, breaking the browser shell and going to the server taking its expressiveness, thinking universal-ity, SEO, aspiring to bank on the hype-train, enabling full-stack universal experiences, and then realising oh shit, we're back at what we did, with more fragmentations on the approaches to solve the same `ol problems. But Astro, Svelte, Solid (I don't get Qwik yet), all seem like superb choice to craft the next-gen web experiences.
After all, when you have chains of props running down through a component tree it's hard to break this apart :-)
Thank you for producing such great content around crafting mindful experiences, and SolidJS.
