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))

Ebay has Marko and I think launched a new major recently

oooo thank you!

For sure, thanks for benchmarking!

I don't know that I can benchmark marko 😢 Code for that bench: github.com/NullVoxPopul... "Incrementing render effect" Took longer than 60s, and React was already the slowest at 6.1s

oh wow, it was just that one bench that marko can't handle marko scores pretty good otherwise!!!

Woah is marko now the top overall performer?!

marko definitely can have effects 😅. What you are seeing is marko's render batching which works in unison with the browsers native scheduler. tldr if you update state from an effect that update is batched until the browser has finished painting anything already comited.

do they have a type of effect that runs before a frame? like reacts useLayoutEffect? or just calling a function from a template?

I’m chatting with Luke on the Marko team and it sounds like this is an intentional choice. They view effect chains as an anti-pattern that leads to poor page performance. Marko’s approach has a to spread the chains across paints so the page remains responsive even with an infinite effect loop.
