Oh, you are right! But that’s unusual. Perhaps because the event queue is already quite full or something like that?

This. They are actually not computationally expensive, just throttled.

Oh cool! I see that’s Chrome-only for now. Any CDNs implement this already out of the box?

In the React ecosystem good pattern change into bad one every other year ;-)
But what is your team struggling with? Initial page load speed? Development/iteration speed? Bugs? Regarding global state management, or..?

I did some searching and couldn’t even find anything on HTTP/3 improving compression across multiple parallel requests. Seems it still compresses each request individually, thus repeated strings cannot be compressed as efficiently like they would be in a bundle :-(

I think it’s more like: 50% of all programs run on the C ABI, the other 50% on JavaScript :P

That’s what I said 15 years ago as well. And for some projects, those can definitely be the right choices.
But there is value in using the same lang on server and client. You can share snippets of code and types, and perhaps most importantly: allows frontenders to do backend work more easily.

But I don’t think there will ever be a company pushing Mastro. It’s designed to be minimal and low-maintenance. But that also means that there is no marketing budget. So mostly just posting to bluesky for now to see whether some folks are interested in it :-)

But that felt even harder to market than a new js framework ;-) But I’m still planning to add a “track” to the guide or something walking you through building the framework itself. Because that’s kinda the key idea, to show people how simple a framework really can be.

But Mastro is sort of the anti-thesis to that! It’s the minimal thing that gets you started coding modern websites with standards and using the browser and js engine as much as possible, without layers and layers in-between. It even started with what’s now the guide: mastrojs.github.io/guide/

Thanks! I started reading and you’re of course spot-on with people learning React because that’s what gets them a job. And people choose it for new projects because nobody was ever fired for choosing React.

But unfortunately on Android the sharing icon doesn’t look like this? Or perhaps it’s even easier there to install?

so far I’m having a good time. the trick is to not do a _client-side_ js framework ;-)

Interesting! Has anybody done some real-world tests with HTTP/3? All I could find are tests on HTTP/2 (linked here: mastrojs.github.io/guide/bundli...)
