Proposed Minimalist Reactive Primitive for JavaScript
A developer proposes a smaller alternative to the TC39 Signals proposal, standardizing only an invalidation protocol and lazy cached derivation with explicit dependencies. This approach would let frameworks handle automatic tracking, equality, and scheduling on top. The goal is to avoid locking JavaScript into a full reactive architecture that may not suit all frameworks.

The proposal's restraint could be its strength, but it may struggle to gain traction against the more ambitious TC39 Signals standard.
