Explicit Caching — Waku
Why caching is outside Waku's core, and waku-cache as one solution.

Waku's Slice is inspired by Gatsby's Slice.
The idea is the same. You define a shared component once, then put a <Slice> placeholder where you want it. It renders once and is reused on every page.
Gatsby does this with static HTML at build time. Waku does it with RSC.

Waku now supports search params typing (opt-in), like TanStack Router has done before.
Both give you typed search, but their coding styles are different, as the requirement is different.
Waku: a typed prop from a codec you provide. TanStack: validateSearch + useSearch.

Inspired by Next.js's Instant Navigations, Waku now does it partially too.
Click between /post/1 and /post/2. Shell and placeholder stay instant, the body streams after the fetch.
Next: automatic, one file. Waku: opt-in, two files, since it doesn't want to rely on a compiler.

Type-safe route params: this one is fairly similar too. Both Next.js and Waku support it, with small differences in coding style.

Unlike Next.js, Waku's core doesn't provide a caching mechanism, only static/dynamic rendering. Caching is provided by a separate package, waku-cache. Here's a comparison of cache usage between Next.js and Waku.
