Apparently the site itself is written in Loon. The HTML is just a static shell that loads a `boot.js` script[1] that runs some WASM that compiles and evals the Loon source files. I found the source code here[2].
Definitely cool in concept, but very performance-intensive and slow.
I'm assuming the website is written in Loon and according to roadmap its version 0.4 and compilation is planned in 0.7. So it demonstrates that the language works, but its not optimised yet.
exactly! I didn't post this (thank u whoever did though) so wasn't ready to launch yet. but the idea is it will SSR and hydrate each page. I want to pull it all out into a framework congruent to Next.js
