How do you stand on VanillaJS vs React these days? I remember some posts from you recommending that path.

- nostrademons 11y agoI still believe every JS developers should know VanillaJS well. Without those fundamentals, you lack the ability to understand what the framework is doing for you. React is a nice piece of software, I'm glad to see it introduce FRP to a mainstream audience, and it fixes certain problems around componentization that you will run into if you try to build a big-enough app in vanilla JS. I've been tempted to use it for a couple startup ideas, but then I remember that no app is "big enough" until it has actual users, and getting them is the hard part. So I remain largely agnostic about its usefulness for startups, while believing that it can be quite useful for more established teams.
