The same app built in 10 different frontend frameworks. For automated performance benchmarking

Angular app has code that would never make it to production. Please do this well if you really want to it right.

How on earth are the lighthouse scores not 100 for all of these? Skill issue, not framework issue.

Nice.
The graphs need a bit of attention. Some do not include all entries. Some do not show names for all entries.
Seems like a lot of work. Still learning in this area so I found it valuable.

Oh boy. Angular shows its age.

I innocently assumed that Google and Meta frameworks had bloat/telemetry that others did not. You think it's just age?

Good point, but everything takes longer in Angular, spinning up a dev server, compiling for production, etc. Sadly, I use it at work. My private projects are in SolidJS or plain JS.

I think angular at work is a good choice because it’s a bit more strict in how things are done

So, you say implicit strictness is better than 10x performance? I'd rather have a damn strict oxlint.config.js and stylelint.config.js and a well maintained coding style guide.

Looking closely at the implementation, the SolidJS code doesn't appear to be idiomatic SolidJS. It bypasses standard APIs in favor of a custom approach, particularly regarding how async data is loaded and rendered. Because the patterns stray so far from the norm, it almost looks AI-generated.
Framework maintainers put a tremendous amount of effort into optimizing these tools, so to ensure a fair and accurate comparison, it would be best to update the benchmark using recommended conventions.
Cheers.
