When I was evaluating which web-technology to use I came to choose between angular and react. At that time angular2 just popped up and a lot of people where annoyed by that. One point why I decided for react was because google has a bad reputation when it comes to keeping things alive.
Is facebook just as bad?
- karlshea 8y agoWell React and React Native are two different things, just because they move away from it for their apps doesn't mean they're going to move away from it on the web.
- ascorbic 8y agoAt this point I think React has wide enough adoption with other large companies that it could easily survive even if Facebook abandoned it.
- tannhaeuser 8y agoThat you've only considered Angular and React prooves web developers live in a bubble staged by big media.
- bigleagueposter 8y agoOnly considering products made by actual engineers at big companies makes a ton of sense. All the dead web frameworks of the week where made by silly hipsters weren't great choices in retrospect.
- madeofpalk 8y agoI haven't heard of Facebook having a reputation for abruptly shutting platforms down. On the contrary, I believe its widely accepted that they handled the shutdown of Parse very gracefully. Year+ notice, with significant open sourcing and community efforts to maintain continuity.
