> Traditional frameworks hydrate entire pages with JavaScript. Even if you've got a simple blog post with one interactive widget, the whole page gets the JavaScript treatment. Astro flips this on its head. Your pages are static HTML by default, and only the bits that need interactivity become JavaScript "islands."
I guess I'd argue "Traditional Frameworks" were the ones that never stopped doing this. Laravel, Django, Rails etc. Then the SPA frameworks came along and broke everything.
Also - what on earth is "f(star)"? I originally assumed it was shorthand for "fuck" but is "fuck dream" a common expression? And wouldn't you normally write it as "f**"?

I misread the title and was quite confused about when the F* programming language connection will take a stage in the article. Spoiler alert: it never does, because the title doesn't make a reference to the F* programming language :D
