I'm not a big fan of Facebook, but I'll admit that React was a real game-changer for my own development life. I don't use JS any more but all the idioms I learned using it I now adopt to other languages. I heard once that React actually came out of the Instagram team, which Facebook acquired. Regardless of the history, it's an amazing tool.
- shaneos 10y agoNo, React came out of the Ads team in Facebook where we used it build the Ads Create Flow (facebook.com/ads/create), but Instagram were early adopters who really helped push it forward (shout to the awesome Pete Hunt!) along with the News Feed team who used it build post comments.
