Solid took what in theory everyone knew would be the best approach to UI tree manipulation and composition, and made the theory come true: reactive fine-grained updates.
The concept isn't new. For example, fine-grained reactivity existed in old frameworks like Knockout.js, in Qt before web frameworks, in alternative frameworks like Aurelia, and even in Mobx with React.
But Solid finally makes the concept have it's theoretical potential fully realized.
Definitely worth checking out!
I also wrote an article that has some additional reasons to love Solid that aren't listed in the above release article:
This is the single best JavaScript framework for frontend development at the moment. I love seeing it stabilize. I wish the project all the best for a great 1.0 release.
