Sure, you can do this with AJAX, but so far there are no SSR + component-level hydration + AJAX frameworks that solve this out of the box.

Facebook is working on something similar though as Dan Abramov has hinted at on Twitter.

Why, exactly, does a static site need component-level hydration?

If it's a totally static site it certainly doesn't need it.

But if you have any amount of interactivity (forms, widgets, etc) SSR makes total sense. Specially with component-level hydration which means the duplication of content would be lower than traditional SSR. AFAIK Marko is the only framework that has this feature.
