With all the respect, I think Virtual DOM will slowly start vanishing in favour of build-time DOM diffing already provided by SolidJS or Svelete. We might lie ourselves that keeping a copy of an entire DOM tree and re-calling the entire call-stack is more performant. But, the truth is that Virtual DOM is just a tool which has been used to allow declarative UI building and this can be already done without Virtual DOM.

Hey! Chris-czopp
Build-time DOM diffing sounds fascinating.
I would like to know more about this diffing, could you write a post on it or elaborate in the comments.
Thanks in advance
