I delved into svelte pretty deep to get a grasp of it. I decided to try to make a set of components similar to material UI, just focusing on form elements.

When it came to passing values, references, functions up and down the component stack, it just became much more difficult than doing it in React, which makes things pretty trivial.

I got hit with the feeling that I was just playing with magic that I didn't understand.

This past week I built two static sites for running my school board campaign using solidjs. It has some basic routing and property passing, so I haven't really given it a good trial yet, but so far it seems to be an easy stand in for React. I'll need to give it eventually the same sort of test I did with Svelte.

I have a desire to move to SolidJs to move away from some of the re-rendering inefficiencies and difficulties in passing values around in React.
