This is great!
I like to think that React — or more generally, component-driven user interface design — is the future of development on all platforms, not just the web. It really seems like we have “peaked” with concepts like state management, composability, and so on. Don’t get me started on how nice hooks will be in the mobile dev ecosystem.
I feel like React Native has taken a hit in the last year or so, with large companies saying they are moving away from it. I really hope that the RN community continues to flourish because I think it will inspire other platforms to move toward better developer experiences.
- amw-zero 8y agoI would hardly say we have peaked. I think there’s plenty left to discover. I think the web was vastly behind other user interface systems and just took a decent jump with Angular and React. There’s a lot left to discover though.
- jeswin 8y agoWell, UI has been component driven forever - although we faltered on Web UIs. For instance, the entire control library in late 90s Visual Basic were components, and people would build re-usable custom components and forms just like you would on React. It went even beyond that - need a Telephony connection or TCP Listener? Drag a TCP component on to your application surface and set some props visually (like port number). It really was that easy. We haven't peaked. If you leave out the closed-source nature of the Microsoft dominated tech scene, the tech from the 90s is arguably better than what we have now.
