Of course! The takeaway is that in the future it would be nice if you could have the best of both worlds by being able to compile some DOM transformations ahead of time and/or have React observe and JIT them so you can bypass React's machinery most of the time while getting to pretend its there. It will feel like a re-render but it's actually just a direct DOM manipulation behind the scenes. That's Svelte in a nutshell.

The future is here and called SolidJS
Solid seems awesome. Though as a Svelte dev, the jsx / React flavored api felt like a regression from the simplicity and readability of Svelte’s template syntax. Have you explored both in depth? I’d be curious to know Solid and its ecosystem compared to Svelte and Sveltekit .
