But when I install Firefox or Chrome it's much faster, much better and also someone else's code. Also copied and pasted by machine. Just I don't claim it's mine.
Look for Imba (imba.io) which is being ignored for years. Predecessor of React with features of React and no flaws of React. Works great with just devtools - for debugging.
Yes it's TS and types compatible. What about Rails or Redis or Linux? The most brilliant projects I know come from one person. Everything is hard to sell if you don't have corporate money stream for marketing :) No?
Linux and Redis have funding and millions of users. So much depends on these projects. Rails is less popular these days but still a project with a long history, financial backing, and a huge ecosystem.
Imba has some brilliant ideas and Sindre is extremely smart... but IMO the decision to go with a custom language has hurt the project more than it has helped. It won't work with any of the tooling around JS/TS. Development is also extremely slow. More than 4 years after announcing v2 here on HN[1], it still hasn't been released.
The reality is that almost nobody is using Imba and it currently sits at about 2000 weekly downloads on NPM with no growth. Even Mithril which is also super niche has more downloads than Imba [2].
This is a higher level toolkit for building SVGs of diagrams, like GraphViz or Mermaid. Compared to Mermaid, explicitly, it is more "mid-level" like Processing/P5.js or D3.js, higher concepts than raw shapes, but lower concepts than DSLs explicitly for GANTT charts or flowcharts.
Compared to P5.js or D3.js, Bluefish uses a React-inspired tree (and its SolidJS library even supports JSX, just not its vanilla approach) more than "turtle commands".
