What Hacker News says
2 sourcesOctane is a new UI framework from Inferno creator Dominic Gannaway (and successor to his Inferno).
It compiles React-style components, Hooks, Suspense, and Actions into direct DOM updates. There is no virtual DOM. Looks like also no manual dependency arrays.
Octane supports JSX, TSX, TSRX, React integration, and several popular libraries.
It's open source and currently in alpha, repo here: https://github.com/octanejs/octane
