Ripple: New JavaScript Framework from an Ex-React & Svelte Core Team Member
Original: Ripple: new JavaScript framework from an ex-React & Svelte core team member
Key topics
The JavaScript world just got a little more crowded with Ripple, a new framework from Dominic Gannaway, a veteran of React and Svelte's core teams. Commenters are divided, with some poking fun at the proliferation of frameworks, while others empathize with Gannaway's passion project, acknowledging the pain points that drove him to create something new. As one long-time Svelte developer poignantly noted, Gannaway's departure from Svelte's earlier simplicity in Svelte 5 still stings, making Ripple a bittersweet development. Gannaway himself chimed in, candidly admitting his need to "break free" from his previous work, lending a touch of authenticity to the discussion.

well, I am glad that Dominic is honest about it having lots of bigs, so people won't jump at at it.
though, I wish he has a added section on why he ruled out contributing to svelte/vue/solid etc
