I fully agree with the sentiment, but Svelte does not seem like a natural leader on that front since their version is a JS superset. Already a bit off the map for interoperability.
Solid's attempt feels more promising since it's building on existing native functionality (proxies / getters), and has intuitive, low-footprint usage (just function calls and reference comparisons).
Edit: It seems I'm not up to speed in fact, I hadn't seen Svelte 5 and runes yet, which are not compile-time. I will need to give it another try. I agree in general that signals and signal-based APIs are the future and definitely better than hooks at least, and a single agnostic standard would be good for everyone.
