>> SolidJS seems designed right so that it doesn't need so many major revisions

Which is exactly what is said about every framework






It's different with solid-js, which is more of a library than a real framework.

The solid-js surface is relatively small, the jsx / css is identical to the native, the Hook simply builds the DOM once. solid-js therefore brings above all a createSignal that adds an observer where it is called in the DOM to directly update the DOM accordingly.

You might think of solid-js more as a signal primitive than a real framework.


Exactly. SolidJS api itself is very small, there is not much you actually have to learn. This makes it simple to reason about and at the same time gives you the confidence to wield it, which makes it actually feel more powerful.

Its funny because "its different with [insert framework]" is also said about every new framework ever.

May I remind you that React was originally a library. Didn't stop it from morphing into...whatever it is now
