Right, but as mentioned a couple of times, that is outside of the "language" part. I like Svelte stores. And they solve a very very necessary problem and having sugar makes them feel more native. But the juxtaposition makes it instantly clear of language/compiler limitations. It wraps a 2nd completely different reactive system. If Svelte only used stores I suspect it might not have been so. The insistence on being just JS/HTML by its followers also amplify this.

And really the purpose of this article is wondering if we can somehow find the holy grail. A truly composable reactive system that doesn't introduce a ton of new syntax. Svelte gets most of the way there, but what does all the way look like?

Not sure how holy anything I make can be, but my reactive system hides pretty well behind "define_property": tilton.medium.com/simplejx-aweb-un...

I have been enjoying your surveys of reactive alternatives and learned a few new ones! I need to get out more, missed Recoil completely!
