Who's got frontend frameworks? Trying to collect some stats on update efficiency (rather than rendering new dom en-masse (which js-framework-benchmark heavily favors <3))

I am actually trying to put my unpublished dumb little frontend framework through your benchmark if the results turn out below laughable, I might even publish this so we can all have a nice laugh at my expense 🤪

<3 I appreciate the effort! We all help each other! I've been learning a lot from Angular, Vue Vapor, and Svelte!!!

I've been building this little thing for 2.5 years mostly because I pitched the idea to Ryan (Solid) one time and he told me this wouldn't be ergonomic it's signals, but every dependency is declared, no tracking, no global state and it's fairly ergonomic 🤷‍♂️😄

I don't want to build or maintain a framework honestly I'm just trying to get it to a state where it gets the point across in part because I think the ECMA signals proposal is the wrong level of abstraction you can build tracked signals on untracked signals, but not the other way around 😌

I agree about tc39 signals being... too small a change proposal. The thing I'm worried about is: in order to have performant signals, you need batching and scheduling and like, signals without a way to render efficiently is just asking for performance problems.

my implementation has batching and scheduling, why would that depend on tracking? 😊

it's more the other way around -- efficient signals implementation must have batching and scheduling, else the fine-grainedness causes too many updates to "the view" faster than what can be perceived, and wastes CPU
