  1. But that's just abstraction, you are still importing a script that handle all the logic and state management regardless. It's like moving the goal post outside of the developers' eyes. I think the future of minimalism lie within Svelte and SolidJS's compiler approach. They give us the developer experience we are used to but result in less JavaScript shipped and better performances. SSR solve all of the performance issues but users have new expectations these days, they want a native-like experience in the browser. And, let's be honest, handling server state is a painful process in bigger infrastructures. Our best bet is to reduce Time To Interaction by focusing on segmented architectures. Whether through the use of mixed rendering with Component Islands (like Astro) or smarter JavaScript distribution (like Qwik).
