KVDOM v0.1.0-M2 released 🎉
Slack Conversation

any reason for going the virtual dom route and not the more modern way of doing it?

[Big Chungus]

What would those be?

[janvladimirmostert]

ES6 has built-in templates, so when you render the template, it does a diff and only re-renders the bits that changed

[janvladimirmostert]

some interesting reading here:

[Big Chungus]

Interesting. Wasn't aware of that. Main reason for VDOM is wasm support. Templates are unfortunately not available on wasm

[janvladimirmostert]

ok, that makes sense
i'll give the template literal thing a go at some point when i get time and see if i can get it working in Kotlin.
Using a $ symbol for variables might be tricky unless i have my own parser
could be a fun project

[Big Chungus]

Let me know how that goes, sounds interesting!

probably only December, doing other fun stuff first with Multiplatform 1.4
