“I used to write Leptos, but abandoned it.”
“Are you confident that forking Leptos for this is the right choice?”
“I ported the leptos rust web framework to run on native platforms”
“I started with Leptos - which gives you a nice declarative UI syntax and reactive elements.”
I have the same question, but it doesn't look like this is actually Rust code; it's just a compiler for their custom... syntax (?) written in Rust. https://buildnectar.com/docs/language-reference This random custom language, I guess.
“How is this different / better than Leptos or Dioxus?”
“(See: leptos.)”
“a core component of the Leptos web framework”
i've had my shot at sycamore a number of times. IMO leptos (leptos.dev) has far more fine-grained capabilities, and dioxus (dioxuslabs.com) is overall more hand-holdy but also powerful. comes with tradeoff for speed. wasm still isnt there yet (yet..) but a lot more web frameworks (including smaller rust ones) can be tracked here: https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/current.html
