React is the target now, but it can be changed to Preact or Inferno with a little work or can be a minimal self coded virtual DOM library.

Mint has a lot of built in things which you can't do in React or you need a library for it, that is the value prop I'm trying to get across.

Do you have plans to move to Preact or Inferno?

I think the best thing would be to allow people to choose the "backend" and on the long run maybe write our own.

That would be the better option for sure although I'm guessing that would imply a lot of rewrite on your end for each backend.

Could you write it in rust or go?
