Signals: fine-grained reactivity is winning

From Solid to Angular to Vue, frameworks are moving toward signals — a way to update exactly what changes instead of re-evaluating whole component trees.

Precision over brute force

With signals, the runtime knows exactly which piece of UI depends on which data. That cuts needless render work and makes performance predictable — you pay for what changes, not for the rest.

Our take

This isn't hype, it's convergence: the whole field is moving the same way. For interactive, data-rich interfaces, fine-grained reactivity is a pleasant base to build on.
