It is listed in the js framework benchmark (as elementaryui), so you can check where it lands performancewise ATM: https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/current.ht...

I am convinced we can keep it "fast enough" for most everything. Bundle size still is a weak spot, and proper bundling/splitting of wasm modules has to be willed into existence, but I see no blockers for a pretty smooth experience.

Honestly, it mostly started as a "I like Swift, can I use it everywhere?" challenge. But there is a real benefit about fully staying in a modern language and tooling environment. Swift, imho, is a very clean and powerful language that fits this space well, might as well build a comfortable way to use it for web projects.
