It’s also just not actually true though. It’s not considered good practice to bundle your web components when publishing to npm for this exact reason. That’s something that should happen inside the final app itself where the components get used so you only have one instance of Lit for example if you are using that.

Lit is also totally web standards compliant to be fair.

It would be cool if you could apply even the most basic reading comprehension here where it says there was zero change in team size and stop spreading nonsense.

That’s not actually correct I don’t know where you got that from. This is from this year and was built on top of a wider rewrite of their JS interop using new language features to make it essentially a zero cost abstraction.

Dart has had browser support and DOM APIs before but never had the same APIs you have in the web platform before.

They dropped that “client side” framing a while back thankfully. It’s considered a general purpose language at this point.

This looks like nightmare fuel.

Lit.dev has been nothing but great for me. Strong recommendation.

I don’t know if you actually read the article or not but just to be clear that was not the argument that was made.

It’s not just “not new” it’s considered to be actively worse than all of its peers in terms of things like performance and complexity, it’s actively a very questionable choice in a greenfield project in 2023.

Flutter overtook RN a while back in terms of popularity in a few different metrics if I recall correctly. I forget the specifics but something from GitHub and StackOverflow I think.

Regardless of the specifics I don’t think the narrative is true, Flutter has had substantial continued growth for years now.
