Tungsten - new JavaScript frontend framework

I have put together a new react-like frontend framework.

I had a few issues working with react, especially the way that React is not a full framework. Next.js takes on the problem and gives us something workable, but I still didn't really like the routing or the styling options available.

I played with some ideas built on top of React, then turned that into a framework built from the ground up. I think my approach turned out quite similar to svelete (coincidentally), though with react-like internal.

Supports SSR and static site generation. Components can be styled with an in-file stylesheet written in CSS or SASS. Some incremental improvements such as a mutable state that doesn't require setState to update. No support for stateful function based components just yet though (who needs them really?).

Available on npm at here
