What does heavyweight mean?
- ng12 8y agoMature. It has nothing to do with the framework itself -- with CRA React is as dead-simple as it gets. However people look at all the infrastructure made for people who build large, complex React applications and assume it's more complicated than Vue.
- saghm 8y agoThe term comes from the name of a boxing weight class; the analogy is that a heavyweight would be hard to "knock out" of the fight. In this case, it means that the existing market share of React and resources of the team behind it will make it hard to displace. Note that in this case, it doesn't necessarily refer to the perceived bloat of the framework (although a pun may have been intended). (Apologies if this was rhetorical and I ruined the point you were trying to make)
- quest88 8y agoSeems like a great contender for a small project then. KO in no time :).
- robotkdick 8y agoMeaning there are clearly more React jobs, and they have the support of a massive company.
