Never a boring day being a frontend developer. Looking forward to add hooks to my React project. The next frontier would probably be functional strongly typed languages, like Reason or some variation on Elm?
- yakshaving_jgt 8y agoA variation on Elm? Why not just Elm?
- coldtea 8y agoWell, he said "the next frontier". Probably implies that Elm didn't catch on, and means "what will the next major framework/paradigm/fad will be post-React".
- preommr 8y agoI honestly don't think that there will be another framework that'll overtake react anytime soon. It's not about there being a better framework, just that we finally have something that's "good enough".
- k__ 8y agoTrue. I used ExtJS and Ember for years and React just operates on another level.
- G4BB3R 8y agoI would say the same for Elm architecture and type system that guarantees no runtime exceptions. There is nothing similar in frontend languages and frameworks.
- k__ 8y agoI think Elm is pretty cool too. But last time I looked, the JavaScript integration did feel quite a bit more cumbersome than with Reason.
- huy-nguyen 8y agoI’m looking seriously at ReasonML. I think it’s more promising than Elm.
