Yes, everything old is new again. I just browsed the docs, but it seems it's not so different, other than it's automatically run on servers all over the world. Temporarily, this is for free. Also, it automatically updates after pushing a commit to GitHub, which seems nice.

also not new, but you know that already :)

it is not different.

CGI is replaced by JS

Apache/nginx is replaced by CDN

web server is replaced by edge nodes (aka, glorified runtimes automagically spread across many endpoints)

It's written in js/React so you can share frontend and backend code and write the entire site in one language or even using the exact same components for server side and client side rendering. This is a boon for development. Ignore the nay-sayers.

The demo doesn't use React, only JSX

The import { h } made me think it was preact, but I guess it's not even that.
