Innovations with FAST Web Components
summary
FAST builds on native web components and claims large real-world wins: experiments show 7x on desktop and 6x on mobile versus React, with paint ~70% faster, ~34% less memory, and startup roughly double speed. A Microsoft rebuild of Edge New Tab Page moves gradually to FAST, cutting time-to-visually-ready by 20% in hybrid mode and achieving a 31% reduction after full conversion, simplifies the codebase by having ditched Redux and enables easy deferred loading of noncritical elements.
