Why Compile-Time Matters

Ship code that ships itself

The compiler strips the framework from your bundle entirely. Users download nothing but vanilla JavaScript.

Zero overhead, every byte justified

No virtual DOM diffing, no runtime library shipped. Each kilobyte serves your user, not the framework.

Surgical DOM updates, not tree walks

Generated update calls touch only what changed. No dirty-checking, no full-tree reconciliation pass.

Reactivity that reads like prose

Write reactive declarations naturally and the compiler wires every dependency. No hook arrays, no stale closures.
