React Summit 2025

In 2008, the movie Vantage Point inspired the exploration of diverse perspectives in software development. The evolution from traditional CSS to atomic styles in StyleX and the scalability advantage of atomic JavaScript are significant areas of interest. Rethinking server-side rendering with React, Web Components, and the Hano framework introduces new possibilities for interactive components. Custom elements, Shadow DOM, and the Solenoid framework address challenges in CSS scoping and SSR for lighter-weight HTML. Signal functions in Solenoid offer a unique approach to data management and component development, enhancing app efficiency. Real-time interactive server setup, innovative server-side development, and the use of HTML as a source of truth contribute to project speed and efficiency. Debugging, component definition, HTML streaming, and component usage highlight the declarative nature and streaming capabilities of server-generated HTML.

Can we apply the lessons of CSS to JavaScript?While working on StyleX we use compilation and the technique Atomic CSS to create a more efficient system. Having small atomic CSS rules maximizes re-usability and dramatically reduces the size of the CSS at scale. A powerful compiler, makes the process automatic and frees from having to think custom DSLs. Can we do the same for JavaScript? What would the trade-offs be? Can it result in unique benefits not possible with most other approaches?
