An in-depth review of Dioxus, a Rust-based full-stack web framework that promises unified codebases across mobile, web, and desktop. The author explores Dioxus's server-side rendering, hydration process, and extensive hook system while comparing it to JavaScript frameworks like React and Svelte. Despite initial frustrations with debugging, hot-patching, and developer experience, the author acknowledges significant improvements in the main branch and recognizes the team's ambitious work on WASM tooling, though concludes the framework isn't quite ready to match JavaScript-based solutions in ergonomics.
