inferno VS stencil

FormEvent event.target has been explicitly defined for this event type c337fdd

I mean I don't know what your monorepo looks like, but for example infernojs (actually written with typescript) uses lerna, and lerna seems simpler than typescript references

Svelte just got a lot more interesting! Dominic who is the creator of LexicalJs and InfernoJs (which is known to be insanely fast) has joined the svelte core team and is now working at Vercel full time! Here is the announcement on Twitter!

Inferno.js uses VDOM https://github.com/infernojs/inferno and is faster than Svelte according to these benchmarks https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/2023/table.... Sooo, VDOM can improve performance?

Inferno (~6 years old) uses a VDOM, just like React, but it completely smokes React in benchmarks

Some might argue that React’s relatively poor performance (it’s still plenty-fast for many apps) is due to Virtual DOM and prioritization of development experience, i.e., clarity over complexity. To counter the first argument - there’s React-like Inferno. For the second one - there’s Solid.

1. Inferno:

A VDOM library like Inferno uses this information to compile its JSX directly into pre-optimized node structures. Marko, and Vue hoist their static VDOM nodes outside of their components so that they don't incur the overhead of recreating them on every render.

First a disclosure: I never actually used Stencil, only played with it a bit locally in a hello-world project while writing this post.

This is my main concern too.

I don't understand why tools like this "pick a winner" with a specific framework instead of rendering to Web Components with a framework wrapper, or using something like Stencil[1] that can render to any framework.

I was recently able to sit down with some of the core members of Ionic, who also created Stencil a toolchain for building Design Systems and Progressive Web Apps. We talked at great length how typically companies are approaching Ionic from a Design Team and need help building components. As a developer I wanted to talk about the Web Components that are used within the Design System first. There was a decent amount of surprise, so I thought I would break down what a Design System is and why it doesn't matter which end you start with, as long as you have both your Design and Development teams working together to build your Design System.

Examples like this bug me. The React example is using a high level abstraction, the web component is directly using the API. A more accurate example would show how those React calls eventually boil down to document.createElement()

I don’t think the Web Components API was meant to be used directly all the time. You can use a framework like StencilJS:

You might say that this is the same vicious cycle as JavaScript frameworks. That's wrong, because Web Components are interoperable by design. Choosing Stencil or Lit or any other library is a development convenience that has little to do with the interoperability of the resulting components.

Not sure about Vue but you can in Angular, though my experience with React components in Angular has not been pleasant. Libraries such as Stencil allow you to create native Web Componets from React components.

I guess my problem is more specific to my overall architecture. I have components that when are placed in the DOM, have props rendered on them by their parent elements. I'm using stencil to do this.
