Introducing frender: React in rust

✨ Four months ago, an idea came to me that maybe I could port React.js to rust with wasm-bindgen, regarding that functional components in React are just functions with special restrictions and wasm-bindgen supports casting between rust closures and js functions.

🎉 After 4 months of work, now I can proudly announce the alpha version of frender, standing for functional rendering. You can checkout some examples, or follow the guide in the GitHub README to write your first frender app!

📝 The future work will concentrate on the following goals:

  • Make the api stable
  • Integrate with webpack
  • Server side rendering (Maybe frender can integrate with Next.js)

❤️ frender is still in alpha and not ready for production yet. Pull requests, issues and donations are welcomed. I will continue work on this project with the support and suggestions from the community.
