About this episode
Astro is a site builder that lets you use the frontend tools you already love (React, Vue, Svelte, and more) to build content-rich, performant websites.
Astro extracts your UI into smaller, isolated components (“islands”) and replaces unused JavaScript with lightweight HTML for faster loads and time-to-interactive (TTI).
Ben and Nate explain why Astro’s compiler was written in Go (“seemed like fun”).
To learn more about Astro, start with their docs or see what people are doing with the framework.
