alt Hacker NewsThanks for the take—glad you think the project’s cool. I get where you’re coming from: React’s a rendering layer for folks who want control, while Nue’s tackling a broader scope, closer to Vue/Astro/Next combo. The ‘takedown’ vibe isn’t the goal, though—more like highlighting how web standards can slash bloat across the board, even for something as ‘simple’ as a button. Nue’s not here to just beat React at rendering; it’s rethinking the whole stack to avoid needing so many layers in the first place. Fair point on use cases—definitely food for thought as we push forward

Cool, good luck! Building on top of Web standards is definitely a great idea and your (non-Rust) demo is pretty good. If I wanted to build a static webapp and was in the mood to play with something new I might try it.
So far this "re-thinking" is just dumping loads of innerHtml's and trashing the entire DOM.
The only reason it's fast is because browsers have been optimized beyond any sane reason.
E.g. your table demo removes and re-adds all rows on every button press. This is not re-thinking. This is throwing all we've learned out of the window and starting from scratch.
