I think Falcor is conceptually interesting, but after reading some of the documentation and project code, I don't want to use it (at this point).
The library bills itself as "middleware", but it looks more like an application framework. I don't see how this would cleanly fit with other application frameworks, as it appears that you have to use Falcor models, routers, and datasources.
The project's code is concerning in a few ways: it's a large codebase, it reads more like C++ than JavaScript, and there's not enough comments. In my experience, successful JavaScript libraries are: small, use JS conventions, and have well-documented source code.
It's great that they are releasing open-source software, though. I hope that this project evolves into something that I want to use.
- toomim 11y agoWhat's an example of the C++ conventions you're referring to? I'm looking at the source now trying to identify them. I don't see them. Looks javascripty to me.
