react library
So far I've seen Vue 2, Vue 3, Alpine, and Svelte pulled into Foundry. No one has yet been crazy enough to try react. So in the name of science... Yolo?
As someone who works in react land, I think it is dramatically overkill for 99% of foundry use cases. Using react for small forms or dialogs would pull in way too much overhead.
I would consider react if I was making something complicated and multi-step like a character creator where state management matters a lot more.
But the biggest thing I have against any of these frameworks is that by using them you lock other people's modules out from modifying your thing. A lot of modules add a very small piece of functionality to something and do so by injecting DOM into existing forms for instance. My understanding of React is that it gets super mad when the DOM diverges from the virtual DOM, so this kind of injection would be a no go.
