Fast Functional Reactive Programming with Datastar Creator Delaney Gillilan

Your job as a web developer, most of the time, is to get strings to the browser as fast as possible.

And that's because the browser is going to parse that faster because you basically have a special class, which is like anything that the browser does with DOM parser or with like built-in functions.

It's like regex, the JSON parser, all that.

It's orders of magnitude faster than what you get in the JS world.

So your job is to get as much into their hands as fast as possible.

And if you have something that's local, you have to like minimize the amount of JavaScript you're doing.

So things like reactive signals and all that stuff.

So basically what DSTAR is all about is making these plugins that anybody can use, but we... ship with plugins that do the fastest version of morphing by like 10x faster than what's currently in html we have the fastest signal library in the world right now too so like just do the things to get things into place correctly but yet the thing is they want to be in the language of your choice the problem is the language you have is just a bunch of declarative strings like that's what the actual interface is is the browser has an interface and it is just a pile of strings
