Kobold, a new web UI crate with zero-cost static DOM

Speaking of &quot;dreaded diffing&quot;. It&#x27;s now fashionable to bash React and VDOM and diffing, but... vdom libs are at the forefront of performance these days: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;RyanCarniato&#x2F;status&#x2F;1636120238638137344?s=20" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;RyanCarniato&#x2F;status&#x2F;1636120238638137344?...</a><p>You need either granular reactivity or diffing (or perhaps both), or else your framework&#x27;s performance will easily be trash

As a certified kobold enthusiast, I don’t like the hideous creature they chose as their logo. I like cute kobolds more than… whatever that is.

Only diffing data and not static portions of templates is exactly what lit-html does too: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lit.dev&#x2F;docs&#x2F;templates&#x2F;overview&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lit.dev&#x2F;docs&#x2F;templates&#x2F;overview&#x2F;</a>

I sense some leptos inspirations ;)

It&#x27;s easy to compare and be better than yew, it just has network effects going for it.<p>Sycamore is much closer to that 0 cost Rust frontend framework, but has gone through many improvements.

Very cool. I&#x27;d actually like to see something like this for Go as well due to the insanely fast compile times. Compiling into wasm of course.

I am very curious about &quot;zero-cost&quot; here? Is this some standard technical term in the rust space?
