Frameworks like Svelte and Solid act as compilers during build time to generate optimized code, removing the need for a large runtime in the browser.
#4about 4 minutes
Advanced hydration strategies for reducing application code
Server-side rendering combined with techniques like just-in-time hydration and partial hydration for interactive components can significantly reduce the client-side JavaScript bundle.
#5about 4 minutes
How Remix reduces bundle size with server-side data fetching
Remix executes data fetching in a server-side loader function, which keeps data-related dependencies and logic off the client and reduces the final bundle size.
#6about 4 minutes
Contrasting developer interest with actual framework usage statistics
While new frameworks generate excitement, download statistics show the continued dominance of React, Angular, and Vue, which are likely to adopt new successful patterns over time.
#7about 2 minutes
Q&A on compiler adoption and the move to full-stack
