Or is Solid somewhere in between React and Svelte in that sense? Where it does some inspection of the source to figure out where the sinal's being called but won't rewrite your code as agressively as something like Svelte

How are signals implemented?

Honestly, writing this I've realized I haven't had to understand what my React framework is actually doing when it builds since the dreadful days of CRA and Webpack, so maybe I'm misunderstanding/underestimating how much of a compiler framworks like Next.js really are?

Okay, you kinda lost me with React and Svelte side by side there... I'm fairly familiar with Svelte and React (and Next.js and SvelteKit) from that list, and although the DX is fairly similar, their build steps are quite different, right? From my experience/understanding, the build step in React-based frameworks usually packages (i.e. bundle, minify, code-split, etc.) the transpiled TS/JSX without really rewriting it, while Svelte's build step rewrites a lot of code from the .svelte files, somewhat like what TS does.
