:wave: Hey everyone, one of the Astro creators here! Happy to talk Astro or answer any questions you have about what we're building.
Our README has a bunch more info that we couldn't fit into the release post: https://github.com/snowpackjs/astro
No benchmarks yet, but I'll look into adding some. In the meantime there are a few sites in the wild already built with Astro that you can check out:

Recently I went on a deep dive to test for myself if it’s even possible to write a modern looking web application with no build tools or dependencies, and turns out its very doable - https://github.com/ivank/vanilla-teuxdeux
Web tech has gone a long way and gives us a ton of stuff for free, without the need to reimplement it all in JS. Though the apis themselves are often rather awkward.
Sadly, the biggest missing piece in all of it though is testing.
