Aether

Frontend Runtime Standard v1.0 — compile UI → IR → Wasm memory → dirty-DAG DOM patches → binary DSM.

Status: v1.0 — industrial Frontend Runtime Standard (docs/ABI.md, docs/STANDARD.md).
Russian: README.ru.md

Why the world needs a new stack

React, Vue, Angular, Svelte and their meta-frameworks optimized for developer ecosystem velocity. The cost is paid every frame and every sync: JS heap state, VDOM or large client bundles, JSON wires, hydrate-by-replaying.

Aether is the runtime standard underneath any syntax:

	Legacy SPA stack	Aether 1.0
State	JS + Pinia/Redux/…	Wasm slots (+ aether-std/store Pinia-shaped API)
Updates	Full / broad reconcile	Dirty DAG
Boot	JS tree hydrate	Binary snapshot + nid
Sync	JSON	Binary DSM (12 B / i32)
Control flow	Framework-specific	Loop + Condition in IR
Syntax	One runtime locked in	All major syntaxes → one IR

Victory criteria (shipped)

1. One IR / one memory / one wire for the frontend world
2. Real Live measure (not a formula) on the homepage
3. Lists with per-row $item, conditions (&& / v-if / {#if} / *ngIf)
4. Store API that writes Wasm (Pinia-shaped, not a second heap)
5. Migrate detect: React, Preact, Next, Remix, Gatsby, Vue, Nuxt, Pinia, Weex, Angular, Analog, Svelte, SvelteKit, Elder, Solid, Qwik, Lit, Astro, Alpine
6. Open ABI + CI gates

Meta-framework servers are not embedded — that would reintroduce the slow path. Migrate + loaders + effects is the speed-safe way to absorb projects.

Real metrics

npm run bench (this machine, representative):

Bench	Result
Dirty DAG vs 50k edge scan	~812× faster
Binary DSM encode vs JSON (64 slots)	~174× faster, ~1.9× fewer bytes

Homepage Live measure: wall-clock DOM + payload + live /api/delta in your browser.

Quick start (testers)

git clone https://github.com/1Anton10/aether-framework.git
cd aether-framework
npm install
npm run setup          # compiler + runtime + smoke + public bench
npm run start          # http://localhost:3000
npm run doctor         # environment check

Full tester guide: docs/TRY.md

npm run create -- my-app
cd my-app && npm run dev

After the v1.0.0 release is on npm:

npm create aether@latest my-app

Packages: aether-std, aether_runtime, aether_ssr, aether_cli, create-aether, vite-plugin-aether, aether-compat-*
