- mrgoldenbrown 11y agoPretty sure they are still considered new or at least exotic from a "typical" developer's point of view.
- qwertyuiop924 11y agoyeah, but I feel they have a reason to exist. Clojure exists because it has interesting ideas about immutability, and is a lisp. Elm exists because FP. This exists because... Why? They thought we needed a new syntax for JSX? They thought we needed another language that was kind of like coffescript, but different in subtle ways? I don't know, and I can't see what this is bringing to the table.

- qwertyuiop924 11y agoSorry, I didn't mean to bash on them for making. Let me clarify my opinion. What annoys me is that they made a thing, which is of debatable use, and talked it up as the next big thing, which everyone should use, because it's amazing. That bugs me.
