If you like React but you're worried about bundle size, use Preact.
I looked into optimizing react as well but it's kinda pointless. Nothing makes react runtime, js for every little thing disappear. React's legacy code, class, mixins, ie support, every little design mistake footgun codes lives on that library (hooks, useEffect, useMemo, rerendering, vdom, js bloated api on top of native api: Concurrent mode=Scheduler api...) so doesn't make much sense. If you look at npm downloads you see lit library alone stats are way up 739k, svelte 351k, solid 30k (there are lots of other libraries for making web component), + a lot of enterprise considering switching from react. https://arewebcomponentsathingyet.com + I kinda don't want to work on react codebase where everything is package, dependency, hooks hell, million ways of doing one thing. Also web components easily integrates with with angular, vue, svelte, solid. For react, lit.dev has a wrapper. https://custom-elements-everywhere.com Apple.com uses lit, Photoshop uses lit for its web app, Google, YouTube, Reddit uses web components. I think React's end game is coming, native platform has all the features now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCJUPJ_zDQ4 Once this upcoming page transitions lands, it is over I think. This api literally kills mobile apps. Apple allowing push notifications and pwa on ios 16. To make native app like experience, we have to kill the js bloat.
