It rubs me the wrong way when someone uses JS instead of ClojureScript. And I bet someone could reply to me saying it rubs them the wrong way when I use that instead of Elm.
There are always going to be alternative tools out there at different timelines. Projects get started at various times when certain tools are popular, and people have varying opinions of what the "best" one is. It's better to focus on making a good product because your users don't give a shit if you used Redux or Mobx.
- hackerboos 10y agoClojurescript does include a bunch of things you have to use libraries for in JS. Such as immutable data-structures.
- bschwindHN 10y agoYes, I think the language lends itself really well to working with React and writing UI code in general. But I understand that it's hard for a team to migrate to an entirely different language so I get why people use React or Redux or any of those.
- mathw 10y agoAbsolutely, and Elm bakes the React+Redux model into the language itself and makes it all a lot smoother and cleaner to do - but it doesn't play nice with a lot of JS libraries which you could use fairly easily with React/Redux. Always tradeoffs, sadly.
