That Astro JS has some great features that make it a nice framework to build static websites with

• It supports MDX via the @astrojs/mdx integration
• There is an AstroJS VS Code extension that helps with writing .astro components (essentially JSX files with a Markdown-like frontmatter section where you can write some JavaScript code)
• AstroJS supports content collections (logical content subsections, e.g. blog articles or product pages) and adds some convenience functions like Astro.getCollection to obtain a list of parsed collection files).
• Using TypeScript, we can add typings for the properties expected by components written via .astro components (component props).
• Dynamic routes may be defined pretty easily and work really nicely for content collections.
