Yeah, i'm a big fan of his/theirs.
> Ideally, I want these things to be part of core web technologies, and for web developers to not need to rely on 3rd-party frameworks.
This seems to be his prime directive. Everything is standards-based. Moreover, if Datastar evolves at all in the future, it'll probably be because the web has improved and made parts of it redundant.
To clarify, he's a big fan of tailwind as well. But thinks that it is solving a problem that doesnt really exist anymore due to modern css. Im excited to see it, because i also think Tailwind is an abomination.
You can read more about stellar css and rocket web components in their respective channels in their discord https://discord.gg/bnRNgZjgPh There's some VERY cool sneak peeks there. You seem like the sort that would fit in very well there
(ps, stellar and rocket are used on their website already. Just read source to look at it)
