Agreed. Go with solidstart (who just released a big V2 upgrade a few months back) if you want an extremely elegant solution to async, error handling and heavily concurrent behaviors.

Very easy to setup and way more readable than the equivalent React code.

And then you just use your favorite js framework with Astro and it will still be good. I use Astro with react and heroui a lot. Since the latter does not need any js for many components anymore you still get zero js builds unless you actually need interactivity.
