ok so I actually like this, but the description and documentation in general are terrible

"rust-powered" meaning it uses rolldown to bundle the javascript, that's fine, but it's a weird thing to highlight, it's confusing for people that aren't super familiar with vite and might think this is a rust framework

from the docs "one of rari's superpowers is seamless NPM package integration" this makes me think the docs are LLM-written... npm package integration, like every other javascript library.

now, the good: there's very few simple frameworks for react (react router and tanstack) and I think the simplicity here on going from an empty project to RSCs is absolutely great, and should be the tagline

I was also happily surprised at how mature the codebase is in comparison to the docs, the vite plugin actually supports a lot of the options I would have expected to see, they're just not documented yet

edit: I realised after digging a bit deeper this actually does have a rust runtime that runs the js, that was not very clear... is this separate from the framework or does the framework only run in the rust runtime? eg can it run on node?

It's like beating a dead horse. React is the literal worst of all the modern JavaScript frameworks and yet that's what everybody insists on using. Vue is light years ahead of it (and will be even further ahead when the new Vapor mode is released in 3.6). Svelte is ahead. Solid is ahead. Heck, even Marko is ahead.

Would be more interesting to compare this to Bun or Deno + NextJs or Tanstack Start or React Router performance wise.

If anybody is wondering.

"Rust-Powered Performance

Native speed with Rust compilation for blazing-fast builds and runtime"

It seems only Rust itself compiles slow while helping others brag about it :).

Is this like ReasonML and its React-Reason framework?

I don't really understand how it works, what part is Rust powered, is it reimplementing the JS engine in Rust?

this looks neat and reminds me of "Ferrari" for fast and combines "react" so it's a great name. Was there a specific use case for this that inspired you? I would imagine some massive existing heavy thing that you plugged in to fix to save it? I just put my open source thing out so it's nice to see some traction on yours, rooting for you.

Author here! Should be all good now, turns out the rate limiter was a bit overzealous
