Try solid.js [1]

I have been using it for a month now and love it. If you are coming from react the API is familiar enough that you can get productive in a day or two. Reliance on observables is a big plus for me (no virtual dom diffing) and the dom reconciliation is very similar to lit. Check out the author's blog posts [2] for more details.

If are into jamstack, Astro [3] has good support for solidjs already and offers an easy way for selective hydration of dynamic parts of the UI.

The component ecosystem is a bit lacking compared to react/vue, but it pairs well with pure css libraries like bulma/daisyui or webcomponent libraries like ionic/shoelace.

And you can also wrap your solid components as web components and use them in a larger app without converting it all to use solidjs.
