SolidJS: Getting Started, Ryan Carniato, ViteConf 2022

Join Ryan Carniato, author of SolidJS, as he introduces SolidStart, the new starter for SolidJS. This talk looks at what motivated its creation and explores how Vite both was critical in its inception and has been instrumental in evolving how we approach developing for the future.

Bling makes so much sense when you listen to Ryan talking about SolidStart being just a set of vite plugins :)

[@BlurryBit]

Man, I have tried out solid start a little, and this thing is freaking fast!! Probably the fastest framework I have ever worked with. Awesome work Ryan!!

[@cachipum]

there are many benchmarks and fastest frameworks right now are qwik and marko

[@thiccboi6211]

what a pretty man!
The islands router demo was soo cool!!

[@ruaidhrilumsden]

I'm a big fan of Astro but I feel like the lack of client side routing is a point of pain. This is basically the best of everything! Bloody good show Ryan, and well done Vite for kicking off a revolution!

[@hsider]

Thanks for Vite, for making this possible 👌

[@JLarky]

I was waiting for this video to be released for so long!

[@dazdotdev]

Me too :)

[@VictorNascimentoo]

This will be the next big thing. Get on-board while you can.

i love solid!!! rewriting my app now from react to solid

[@victorlongon]

Solid is AWESOME!

[@CarloNyte]

holy shit! this is insane!

[@theLowestPointInMyLife]

Ryan's a 10xer, React is barely an xer

[@avertry9529]

solid-styled setup fails to run after solidstart setup,
installing vite plugin for solid-styled on a normal solid app also fails.
So back to some other css solution.

Ok so solid is fast, it is awesome, but i dont see a job market? Why are not companies adopting to solid.js ?

[@planesrift]

Cuz they have existing code base/staff?

[@saadbinsami4801]

@@planesrift I think solid lacks branding. The way facebook/meta marketed React is like the last front-end framework which everyone has to adapt. I think Ryan should take help from rivals of react/meta. Solid will foster under the adaptation of MANG

[@ashtonmiddlefield9819]

It is great library. But alphabet and meta put so much engineers and investment, they won’t let solidjs claim the throne, even solidjs is superior performance then ridiculous rendering.

[@IvanKleshnin]

We won't ask their permission :)

Here is Ryan fussing about shaving of 10kb of Javascript while Next.js pushes min 200kb even a simple hello world.
