Vanilla JavaScript Performance: The Myth of VDOM Speed

I've been exploring web performance lately, especially since my company chooses not to use frameworks in our core functionality. Despite this, we develop quite large single-page applications without relying on any frameworks. This approach has led me to explore the performance characteristics of framework-free development more thoroughly.

This is the first in a series of articles I'm writing about the performance of naive JavaScript development without frameworks, starting with VDOM.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts:

- What are your thoughts on developing large SPAs without frameworks? - How do you envision the future of Virtual DOM in web development?

Does this takes in account frameworks like Solid or Svelte?

I focused on a framework-free approach and performance. I deliberately excluded frameworks such as Solid and Svelte from the analysis, despite their interesting direct approach to DOM manipulation.
