> Dioxus vs Leptos

> Leptos is a library for building fullstack web-apps, similar to SolidJS and SolidStart. The two libraries share similar goals on the web, but have several key differences:

> Reactivity model: Leptos uses signals to drive both reactivity and rendering, while Dioxus uses signals just for reactivity. For managing re-renders, Dioxus uses a highly optimized VirtualDOM to support desktop and mobile architectures. Both Dioxus and Leptos are extremely fast.

> Different scopes: Dioxus provides renderers for web, desktop, mobile, LiveView, and more. We also maintain community libraries and a cross-platform SDK. Leptos has a tighter focus on the fullstack web with features that Dioxus doesn't have like islands, <Form /> components, and other web-specific utilities.

> Different DSLs: Dioxus uses its own custom Rust-like DSL for building UIs while Leptos uses an HTML-like syntax. We chose this to retain compatibility with IDE features like code-folding and syntax highlighting. Generally, Dioxus leans into more "magic" with its DSL including automatic formatting of strings and hot-reloading of simple Rust expressions.

For Go, sadly I don't know any framework in the scope of Rust land's Dioxus/Leptos. You continue to have two choices:

- Either to go down the SSR route (and add HTMX for a more SPA-like experience, and use Templ for HTML templating)

- Or to use Go in the backend and something else for the frontend (NextJS or SvelteKit or React Router, you name it; I went with SvelteKit as it fits my needs well, and seems to be "the most popular niche" frontend framework)

Hope it helps
