For even more fun, compare with inferno

  FWIW a React lead said Inferno is how they would've designed React if they had to do it from scratch, and it's author joined Facebook to push React efforts forward.

    "Inferno 1.0 is really well written. It's how I would've rewritten React. I'd recommend reading its source to learn." - reading the source is much more effective than reading an article written by someone who read the source code.

      What are you doing on HN when you could be off reading source code?
      • sAbakumoff 9y ago
        I don't think that your question makes any sense. I read both of HN and the source code.
        • icebraining 9y ago
          And people can read both the article and the source code.

    So does that mean inferno is both theoretically better and already dead? :(

      Hehe. I think it's Open Source at play: X publishes an innovative method, Y iterates with a cleaner version benefiting from lessons-learnt, X says "awesome, let's join forces!" and they live together happily thereafter. Inferno passed over to another lead who's pushing it forward. IMO this is a good outcome: there is some marginal value in yet another "React-like but faster" library, but the same energy could help a lot more people if applied directly to the source of the madness.
