Octane – React's programming model, compiled
Octane is a compiled programming model for React that removes the virtual DOM and eliminates the need for rules of hooks and manual dependency arrays. The compiler infers dependencies, allowing hooks to be placed behind conditions and early returns, while templates compile to direct DOM writes for improved performance. Octane aims to be compatible with existing React codebases, enabling incremental migration without rewriting components.
- ▪Octane compiles React components ahead of time, tracking effect, memo, and callback dependencies automatically.
- ▪It supports familiar React features such as hooks, context, Suspense, and portals, but operates without a virtual DOM.
- ▪Templates are compiled to cloned nodes and direct DOM writes, reducing the number of node movements in keyed lists.
- ▪Developers can adopt Octane incrementally by converting .tsx files to .tsrx one component at a time, and the framework provides CLI tools for diagnostics and migration.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
React’s programming model, compiled.The successor to Inferno, carrying its performance-first goal forward: React’s hooks, Suspense and actions, compiled ahead of time. No virtual DOM. No rules of hooks. No hand-maintained dependency arrays — the compiler works out what your code captures for you. Get started Differences from React Counter.tsrxCopy// Counter.tsrx — hooks next to output, no rules of hooks import { useState, useEffect } from 'octane'; export function Counter(props) @{ const [count, setCount] = useState(0); // A hook behind a condition is fine — slots are // assigned by call site, not call order.
