Hi,

Has this [benchmarking](https://elm-lang.org/news/blazing-fast-html-round-two) been updated to compare 0.19 with React at all?

Was just curious how Elm compares these days, and if it’s still out in front.

Thanks

The most comprehensive benchmarks I know of are here [https://github.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark](https://github.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark)

They link to a snapshot of all the latest versions of things here [https://rawgit.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark/master/webdriver-ts-results/table.html](https://rawgit.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark/master/webdriver-ts-results/table.html)

You can select which frameworks you want to see, so I will usually look at a selection like:

- vanillajs-keyed
- elm-v0.19.1-3-keyed
- react-v16.8.6-keyed

Elm still does well compared to the react variations I have seen, and you can check out whatever frameworks you happen to be interested in!

Thanks @evancz , and that’s also the fastest response I’ve had to any question 😄
