I will also say encapsulating everything you just said in a single term, "islands," is a lot simpler and prettier to discuss. At least from my perspective, the naming also makes a lot of sense. Literal islands of interactivity surrounded by an ocean of static.
the naming is backwards then. An island is static, an ocean is not. See how it is a buzzword up to your interpretation?
now that you say it :o
Should be astro lakes or something.
Islands is just a catchy name I guess. I always thought the markojs terms for it made sense, but are more technical / less catchy: they called it “full page hydration” -> everything needs to be delivered as js and “component level hydration” -> islands, only specific component sub-trees need to be hydrated.
Then “sub-component level hydration” would be resumability like in qwik where only events and their dependencies get serialised as client js.
