> Next, Nuxt, and SvelteKit are built with complex, runtime browser rendering engines — a massive overhead for content-driven websites with minimal interactive elements.

This 100%. I just don't understand why all modern frameworks aren't doing islands by now.

Sending, parsing, and executing JS for non interactive components is a massive waste.

I'm not very familiar with Nuxt or SvelteKit but this is exactly what React and NextJS provide with server components. Any JS related to server components isn't shipped, only client components which effectively represent the islands. The only real difference is you're not mixing technologies, it's all React.

Thanks. I wasn't aware Next had already shipped RSC support.

Yeah I also don’t think this is correct for SvelteKit.

SvelteKit doesn't support islands. It does full page hydration.
