So … would this pair even better with Svelte, so we become even more reactive through the whole stack?

Yeah, Svelte or Solid is probably a more natural fit than React. But at the end of the essay we propose a weirder alternative, which is to implement the UI templating itself as just part of a DB query.

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for PHP style "raw query in the template". Even as we've moved away from that I feel like GraphQL recapitulates a lot of the reasons why having queries tightly bound to views is convenient.

It feels like "put the template in the query" is a great Uno reverse to "put the query in the template" and the associated issues it brings, but I'll have to think on the consequences more. Thought provoking article!
