mikado VS js-framework-benchmark

Yet another JS framework. How fast is it really? The learning curve may not be worth it if it's slower than https://www.solidjs.com/ and according to https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/current.ht... few things are faster than a very little-known framework called Mikado (https://github.com/nextapps-de/mikado). That being said, I would never sacrifice performance of my software for how trendy or popular something is, e.g. React is #1 in popularity yet it's overcomplicated, massive, slow as hell.

If I do need client-side data-binding, then I'll probably just go for something like https://github.com/nextapps-de/mikado instead, which is the best-performing option on the benchmarks as I remember.

Now, it’s worth noting that aside from Solid, there are 2 faster “UI frameworks” included in the benchmark but not on the table above. These are Mikado (actually a template engine) and doohtml (marked with a note about using manual DOM manipulation), so the point still stands - Solid is the fastest JS UI library!

JavaScript benchmarks are instruments for measuring the speed and effectiveness with which a JavaScript engine—such as the ones found in web browsers—can complete particular tasks. Benchmarks are used by developers and browser vendors to evaluate various engines, find places in the code where improvements are needed, and make sure JavaScript standards are being followed.

Strange then that frameworks advertise how fast they are at rendering, mutating, and creating objects in the DOM, and one of the main JS benchmarks everyone likes to measure their performance by is literally a benchmark about DOM manipulation: https://github.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark

Oh wait. It's not strange. Because state manipulation is a largely solved problem, and even the least performant state manipulation is blazingly fast. However, presenting components in the browser's DOM is tens of magnitudes of orders less performant than anything you can throw at state manipulation.

And every single framework is busy solving one single problem: how do we touch the DOM as little as possible?

It literally says at the bottom "Data from https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/"
