- brn27 10y agoSo It's my hobby side project. I want to try to implements vdom.
- leeoniya 10y agocool :) you need a lot of tests to cover all your features as assurance that regressions won't happen and everything works as designed.
- tedmiston 10y agoIs React slow for people? Maybe I haven't pushed it to any limits performance-wise yet, but I don't think I clearly understand the use case for breaking out of the ecosystem for an alternative virtual DOM implementation.
- throwayedidqo 10y agoThe motivation for many clones is the Facebook patent clause in the react license. My company said "no way" to using react because of it, and I'm sure many others do as well.
- tracker1 10y agoSo use a similar technology, likely also infringing on Facebook's React patents vs. protection that only applies if you don't sue Facebook over patent issues?
- throwayedidqo 10y agoSoftware parents are a minefield. For bigger companies it's definitely not worth the logistics to keep track of which companies you can and can't sue
- tracker1 10y agoFacebook's Patent grant is expressly for use in case you sue Facebook over patents... I'm pretty sure if you do that (sue fb), they'll look at everything they can use to sue you... That would include other technologies that may infringe on any Patents related to React.
