Astro just Launched.... Could it be the ultimate web framework?

Astro version 1.0 just launched giving developers a way to build server-rendered websites with any JavaScript framework. It uses the islands architecture and partial hydration to deliver fast apps with frameworks like React, Vue, Svelte, and more.

They decided endless amounts of JS frameworks wasn't enough. Now we have endless amount of framework-frameworks.

Can't wait to rewrite my unfinished hobby app for the fourth time 🥰

Another Framework that goes in my list of "Will use it soon".

[johnadams]

100 years past and my brother and I discovered the new JS framework, a framework named Astro. And although it’s already at version 1.0, there’s a lot to be done before it’s ready to be deployed anywhere. But I believe Astro can save the internet.

"The last thing the world needs is another Javascript framework"

Long ago, the webdevs lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Frameworks attacked.
Only Astro, master of all Frameworks, could stop them. . .

EDIT: Funny how 1 out of 4 comments make the same joke

[Wielorybkek]

Wow, instead of doing something with one framework now I can do the same thing using two frameworks!

[iclx]

Added 5 years Astro experience to my resume

Another web framework, much needed indeed.

Another "ultimate" web/js Framework, much needed indeed

[dputra]

The first thing that comes to mind is a documentation site. Perfect fit for static MPA, more extensible than mkdocs (probably), and the ability to structure things with components instead of writing duplicated part of documents in markdown over and over again.

Astro be like: Yo dawg I heard you like frameworks. Here's a framework for your frameworks.

[nielskersic]

I think Astro is gonna have a big impact on how we write apps in future. This framework agnostic approach using island architecture is really exciting. I'd love to see a Qwik in 100 seconds at some point too, because that seems very interesting too

"When these rich companies wage JavaScript framework war, it’s us poor developers who die" - this is great 😂

[alister_]

I could easily imagine a lot of frameworks like Astro competing with each other, and frameworks being built upon those frameworks that are built upon frameworks. Just like today, but... with more frameworks and complexity.

[GeekGamingOffical]

Seems like a framework that actually offers something new and doesn't reinvent the wheel. Good stuff.

[otockian]

I got to be honest, Astro shocked the hell out of me, which doesn't happen very often.

[baka_baca]

Wow! The thought that we don't need to commit to 1 framework/library but still get pretty much all of the things is amazing!

I've seen plenty of times where 1 framework might work better in some situations and then another in other situations. Or sometimes it would be great to just gradually port over code from one to another instead of needing a full rewrite up front. If Astro can handle this, then I really want to check it out!

[DaneRossenrode]

After the Astro in 100 seconds vid, I rebuild my agency site in Astro. Some parts were a bit tricky, and I still need to implement full site search... but it was a fantastic experience. I now love Astro!

This feels similar to the very old days when ajax was hot buzz word, and we used to build a page where every single interaction was separate from entire page. It was a lot of code and possibly the reason why jquery was so handy for us. The feel of the page was very SPA like, except for the url change that the current navigation and history api makes available to us. We just used to have a # on url and let each section of page update itself using ajax, by downloading snippets of html blocks that we inserted into the section.
