I would say SolidJS does everything better than React while keeping with the same general mindset. React spent way too much time worrying about DX to the point that now DX is really bad. Fine grained granularity is such a breath of fresh air to work with after the very large and very heavy brush that is the React “render the world every time anything changes” method (yes they try to be smart about it, but so far haven’t succeeded, the next compiler might solve it, but then we’re back to a black box of incomprehensible code soup to debug).



Thank you. Finally someone mentions Solid, it got all the good part of React, and none of the bloated parts.

Personally, JSX is the mainly thing that makes React attractive. As JSX is just modern E4X. It really ought to be put into the ES standard again instead of this Web Component stuff.

Another good JSX implementation (SSR) is: https://nanojsx.io

If you just want something light JSX, then this seems the way to go for now.
