Octane.js: React.js compiled

No virtual DOM, 2.5x faster than React;
Comparable to Svelte, while keeping React syntax.

 Octane — React's programming model, compiled

React’s programming model, compiled.

The successor to Inferno, built around the same focus on performance. It brings React’s hooks, Suspense, and actions to a compiler-first architecture. No virtual DOM, rules of hooks, or dependency arrays you have to maintain yourself. The compiler tracks what your code uses automatically.
