Glimmer – Fast and light-weight UI components

I can't help but think: yet another front-end library. But Ember being solid, there is probably good reason for this project.

What does Glimmer do that all of the existing view libraries couldn't do ? x-tags, vue, react, preact, etc, etc, etc.

Wouldn't an abstraction layer on top of any of those libraries have avoided the need to create an entirely new project ?

I think the abundance of view libraries is evidence that no one has really "solved" it.

This is _the_ abstraction layer below an existing framework called Ember.js

an essential difference is compiling templates into compact opcodes instead of vanilla JS and effective rerenders
