Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
The article introduces 'yawn', a JavaScript library that leverages Async Iterables for reactive state management in frontend development. The author describes an epiphany about using native JavaScript AsyncIterables as read-only state containers, eliminating the need for complex reactivity systems. The library aims to mirror web standards and APIs, using JSX for rendering and native JavaScript features for state management. The approach emphasizes simplicity, web standards compliance, and leveraging upcoming iterator helpers for state composition.
