YouTube is being rebuilt with Web Components and Polymer
- ergo14 10y agoA very good decision, Polymer is a breeze to work with. It also shows that google is very confident in it.
- ciokan 10y agoOther than web components not being fully supported yet by browsers is there any other downside to this compared to react+redux/vuejs or angular? I'm just asking as I haven't tried polymer until now but I'm pretty familiar with the mentioned fw's.
- emodendroket 10y agoI guess it doesn't say much for their confidence in angular 2 that they don't actually use it for anything.
- socceroos 10y agoI think web components are a step sideways (and forwards) from libraries like Angular. Not necessarily that they don't have confidence in them, but more that they're taking a punt with what they perceive to be the next evolution.
- socceroos 10y agoPolymer has been a very opinionated framework. It really seems in the last ~6 months that they're really moving back to their web component roots and being less of a rigid framework and more of a library with 'best practices'. They're still a bit under-cooked on their data-binding stuff in my opinion - I've found it a bit unstable and hard to use (there could be some causation going on there).
- ergo14 10y agoOpinionated? I've been mixing it with jquery and other libraries just fine. Its really relatively small piece of code (if you rule out the polyfills).
- paulddraper 10y agoI wouldn't call it a framework any more than I'd call React a framework.
