What Hacker News says
2 sources> still relies on other frontend frameworks like Svelte or React.
It doesn't have to. You can use it without any frontend framework.
> So, what, exactly is Astro other than YACC like Vite?
Selling point of Astro is the partial / conditional hydration; they call it Island Architecture. This is not unique to Astro, though[1].
It also does some neat stuff with frontmatter [2].
The biggest turn-off for me though is that telemetry is ON by default and you need to manually switch it off.
[1]: https://github.com/11ty/is-land and https://github.com/ElMassimo/iles also offer Islands.
