What are benefits of using solara and why choose solara for next app?

• Define your UI based on the state/data (declarative, like ReactJS)Auto re-executes what is needed (reactive, like Excel)
• Reusability / encapsulation (components)
• you can write new ones using the underlying library (ipyvuetify)
• you can use html/css/js/vue/react to write your own widgets if needed
• Together they make it possible to take on larger projects and don't get stuck.
• it's nice to be able to just call the python functions you want to use instead of going through REST api's etc.
