This seems quite complicated. Rarely the big perf hit is in js. The big perf hit is usually layout, composite and paint cycles. They are eons slower than manipulating a virtual dom tree in js.

So I don’t get it. You can’t interrupt the browsers native paint cycle. Once you say node.appendChild or change some attr/style. The browsers gonna do what the browsers gonna do.

React was simple. With hooks , concurrent mode, virtual events and mumbo jumbo. I don’t get it anymore. It’s not a lean mean library that takes minutes to run and one can’t read the source in a couple of hours
