Vue.js is and isn't. It did ""fine grained reactivity getter setter proxy something"" before it was cool [0].

At this point I can't stop myself from pointing out that the underlying reactivity/diffing system is rarely what makes an application slow. I've heard the creator of XState and Stately [1] say that React's vdom is not fast enough for updating edges in their state chart in real time without lots of optimisations and I believe him. It's just that most people don't encounter such issues and spend adding a dozen tracking scripts that run before the actual application does.
