Having just recently played with astro, I can confirm it's got some really nice qualities.

Things I liked about Astro:

- It can use front-end js frameworks like Svelte and Vue as components (and it can load the JavaScript only once these components appear).

- familiar JSX, scoped CSS and single-file components for astro components.

- Some nice plugins for responsive image optimizations.

- nice touches like hot module reloading. It's nothing new, but it does just seem to work.

I also believe there are optional SSR elements to astro now, but I have not played with these.
