What is so special about hot reloading? Live Reload has been around for about a decade and it's compatible with everything that renders to a web browser. Am I missing something here?
- rattray 10y agoPresumably it's faster, but I haven't seen a comparison so I can't say. In interactive contexts, it probably helps to keep the application in a single state while reloading, but I don't believe that applies here.
