Svelte or Nim for Frontend. ❤️
Svelte all day long.
Nim? nim-lang?
Yes Nim lang nim-lang.org
Svelte is great, but Svelte cant do Backend, Nim can do Backend, and Frontend.
:)
Wow, yeah nim is a good language. Good to hear someone using it on production server. Nice.
For Backend you can use Sapper... It's build by the Svelte team and is just as simple, fast and as lightweight.
No no nim-lang is another new language, like a scripting language. You can check that out on their website, its like C++ replacement. Not a frontend framework
Nim can do Frontend, thats what I use.
Going to check Sapper now, thats interesting.
Oich I though you use nim for your API too, I'm sorry
Great post thanks for sharing.
I don't get this part tho:
"making it orders of magnitude faster than frameworks or libraries that ship with a virtual DOM implementation"
Wasn't the whole premise of VDOM to make things faster since DOM is slow?
Long story short: Diffing isn't free
Explanation
The main reason we have been using things like VDOM is to compare if the data has changed or not and if so when to re-render the new changes. There are many diffing algorithms that are fast and we would update something if it has changed, but updating things directly will always be faster. In libraries like
Reactthe virtual DOM tries to compare its state with the current DOM state and if there is any difference it will ask the reconciler to apply those changes to the DOM. The part where it gets slow is the reconciliation phase. This is because diffing isn't free. It is nothing but just pure overhead. For more info, this is what thereactdocs have to say about virtual dom and this is whatSveltehas to say about it.Thank you for the answer, the article on the Svelte website makes total sense. I guess I need to learn more about how Svelte is updating the DOM without any diffing algo.
Having script, style and
Html all scoped in the same component seems to be similar to Vue! Not used Vue a lot, but is the usage expressions also similar? Eg:iterable with
#eachI also haven't used
Vuea lot but the one major difference between Svelte and Vue is that Svelte is a compiler and not a framework.I like they way Svelte approaches the web. This is more align with the lean web thinking.
Agreed 100%.
It is so difficult to fight the industry. Nowadays we think that every problem is a nail and we want to use the Ract/Vue hammer to do the job.
I think Vue3 is gonna have a similar way of working in terms of component file
Yes true. At the end of the day it's just semantics.
It wont compile, it asks for a utils.js file
As I wanted to keep this article small all files haven't been included.
