I honestly don’t understand how’s this different from react server components with nextjs but with less features? It seems like the same thing but with an even clearer border between server/client components and therefore missing all the optimizations (like streaming). Like islands architecture but made out of different technologies, is my understanding correct ? I would appreciate some feedback :)

LiveView has streaming. I would argue that if you're stuck in the React way of thinking about application design then it's not worth trying to sell you on what LiveView is doing. But there are multiple case studies out there showing that it results in far less build times than React for no compromise on user experience.

The build times for react are not a problem at all.

Yeah I wish this article had covered how this solution compares to React Server Components as it kind of looks like spaghetti of different techs compared to how next.js streamlines the same problem space into one consistent mental model.
