It's very much inspired by Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI.

At the end of the day we just use the Rust Struct parser!

It's very similar to JSON or RON if you're familiar.

I'm not, I find the entire Rust language to be very unreadable.

I have seen a lot of templating languages like the one in Dioxus but I don't think you will "win" the hearts of people with a templating like this:

``` rsx! { footer { class: "footer", span { class: "todo-count", strong { "{active_todo_count} " } span { match active_todo_count() { 1 => "item", _ => "items", } " left" } } ```

Even if I can read it, it's much more of a hassle since I have to translate this into actual html in my brain. Why would I pick this over regular jsx with React? Sure crossplatform is cool, but I already do crossplatform since I only do web dev like most people nowadays.

Maybe I'm not the target customer here, but I have a hard time finding a reason why I should pick something that is much more complex. Speed sure but the gains are not good enough to warrant learning this and if I was a betting man I would bet against it in it's current form due to the learning curve. Also I worry about the financing sine I've read that you guys are taking in VC. Obviously there is some kind of plan in order to make money in the future and I wonder what rug-pull will happen.

The thing is, I have been looking on Rust due to the performance and the potential in wasm (I do very client heavy apps that would benefit from it). But I really don't like the language or the community so I'm basically waiting for other languages to keep up.

When I go in on a technology, I want to master it. So it will require a lot of learning and time investment for me which is my most precious resource and not something I will throw away lightly.
