  1. Preact

    ⚛️ Fast 3kB React alternative with the same modern API. Components & Virtual DOM.

    >> React is not traditionally used for making games, but that's part of the fun and the challenge. R

    > MS Flight Simulator cockpits are built with MSFS Avionics Framework which is React-like and MIT licensed:

    https://github.com/microsoft/msfs-avionics-mirror/tree/main/...

    preactjs may or may not be faster: https://preactjs.com/

    Million.js is faster than preact, and lists a number of references under Acknowledgements: https://github.com/aidenybai/million#acknowledgments

    https://million.dev/docs :

    > We use a novel approach to the virtual DOM called the block virtual DOM. You can read more on what the block virtual DOM is with Virtual DOM: Back in Block and how we make it happen in React with Behind the block().*

  5. redux-devtools

    DevTools for Redux with hot reloading, action replay, and customizable UI

  6. ipyflow

    A reactive Python kernel for Jupyter notebooks.

    Np.

    From https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=35887168 re: ipyflow I learned about ReactiveX for Python (RxPY) https://rxpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ .

    https://github.com/ipyflow/ipyflow :

    > IPyflow is a next-generation Python kernel for Jupyter and other notebook interfaces that tracks dataflow relationships between symbols and cells during a given interactive session, thereby making it easier to reason about notebook state.

    FWIU e.g. panda3d does not have a react or rxpy-like API, but probably does have a component tree model?

    https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38527552 :

    >> It actually looks like pygame-web (pygbag) supports panda3d and harfang in WASM

    > Harfang and panda3d do 3D with WebGL, but FWIU not yet agents in SSBO/VBO/GPUBuffer
