On this episode of React Wednesdays, we welcomed in Ryan Carniato, a member of the Marko team at eBay, and the author of Solid JS. Solid is a declarative, efficient, and flexible JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
It has some features that are similar to React (component model, hooks), but also some that are quite different—for example, Solid doesn’t use a virtual DOM.
Ryan demoed Solid for us, and discussed how and why React developers might want to check out Solid.
This was a fun one as Solid is growing in popularity, and we're curious to see it in action.
