Thank you for your kind words. It can a difference to have the kind words of a few strangers. I'm used to these sort of responses now. And welcome it to a certain degree. Insightful comment can lead to interesting discussion. Ignorant ones gives me a platform to educate.

But it wasn't always like this. Leo Horie from Mithril was always supportive early days when it seemed I only was receiving this sort of "feedback" on reddit if any at all.

Disclaimer: I'm that Leo ^ :)

Unfortunately, JS fatigue is real and it can be challenging for someone who has their hands full with just relearning new React idioms to also evaluate the dozens of other libraries out there, so it's easy to miss a gold nugget.

For those who are not seeing the value proposition here, think Svelte, but where the "reactivity magic" is encapsulated via Components to still allow React-like "it's-just-JS" component code, while also getting rid of a lot of runtime overhead and the complexities associated with trying to optimize a virtual dom (as has been the recent direction for React).

One great benefit over Svelte with this approach is that you can use Typescript in templates (something that Svelte still is not able to do).

Solid's performance claims to fame are also legit (i.e. it doesn't sacrifice good devexp, good engineering, unlike many of the top performers in the stephen krause's benchmarks).

The only thing I wish was better is docs. It starts off "spilling its guts", so to speak, and while that is an ok way to explain why Solid is different than others and to garner interest from library authors, it's also not super beginner friendly. One cannot, for example, easily find docs for `<For>` even though it's analogous to core syntax if we were to compare to a programming language. Putting a follow-along tutorial upfront would go a long way.

Thank you as always. Early days spent so much time justifying things, everything became these expositions. Time to tighten up.
