Looks clever but how about performance compared to, for example Preact+Signal or Solid? I suspect what would slow it is the use of Proxy.

Hey! This project started as a few lines of code that we copy/pasted around to get us reactivity on top of raw Web Components here and there. As we have used it for more intensive internal dashboards and other projects, it has evolved into a nice little alternative to React / Vue / lit-element.

There's a starter repo here if you want to try it out: https://github.com/frameable/el-starter
