framework VS submillisecond

I'm working on a framework inspired by React/Next.js which turns Haml into Ruby. It's 100% server side, but it runs pretty fast. I'm currently working on a rewrite, I just wish I had more time to work on it.

Mayu, a server side web framework written in Ruby, inspired by React. Been working on it for over a year, and I'm currently doing a complete rewrite now that I have a better idea of how it should work.

Mayu Live[1] has components, it works kinda like React. I have been thinking about making rdom[2] work with Rails but I got a memory leak to fix first. It's possible to do all this in Ruby though.

Thanks, yes mayu.live is a close thing, but I looked at its examples, it's overcomplicated, if done a bit differently, the counter code it shows as example would be 3 times shorter. Nice experiment, same principle as LiveView, but not quite there.

I've been working on a React-inspired framework in Ruby [1,2]. It only requires a few kilobytes of JavaScript, and only includes the relevant stylesheets for each page. Works pretty well and I guess I'm in a rural area (about 90 minutes down the river from Iquitos, Peru) on a 4G connection.

I recently did another experiment [3] where each static DOM tree becomes a custom element, which also reduces the amount of data that needs to be transferred.

I should probably make a Show HN post soon...

I believe that https://github.com/lunatic-solutions/submillisecond wants to be that.

Lunatic is exciting, I'm keeping an eye especially on the submillisecond web framework that targets wasm: https://github.com/lunatic-solutions/submillisecond

Lunatic runtime for Rust to avoid the async parts might become quite nice in the future: https://github.com/lunatic-solutions/submillisecond

Not sure what it might take for someone to write database connectors for it but it does look promising.

What a coincidence, I was just discussing on discord a similar approach for our Rust web framework submillisecond[0].

Submillisecond uses lunatic to run Rust code compiled to WebAssembly on the backend. We are working on a LiveView-like library now. And one thing I would love to give developers for free is an offline-first experience. You write everything in Rust, compile it to WebAssembly, run it as a regular backend on lunatic, but also allow for moving the whole server into the browser for a offline experience. If SQLite is used for the DB, it could also potentially run in the browser.

This doesn't need to move the whole app into the browser, but could do so just for more latency sensitive workloads that don't fit LiveView well. Like form validation on every keypress, etc.

Web socket support was added a few days ago[0], but it's still not part of a release. I will probably push out alpha1 tomorrow including it and a few other changes.
