Do you think React will survive without Meta?
- k__ 4y agoThere are projects with smaller communities than React that do pretty well.
- jimmy2020 4y agoI know. But it's not just about the community it's more about the commitment and consistency.
- TAForObvReasons 4y agoThere are smaller projects not backed by a large tech company that arguably have more commitment and consistency.
- gherkinnn 4y agoVue survives just fine. Sure, its market share is lower, but the quality of Vue 3 is on par with React. Most impressively, it comes with its own core libraries for routing [0] and state [1]. And by extension, has spawned library agnostic tooling in the form of Vite [2] and now Vitest.

- nsonha 4y agoreact also survivED just fine, but they will die eventually, and because of the nature of front end development, it will happen faster than typical software project. It doesn't help that most veteran web devs hate react (vs the platform).
- nsonha 4y agosome one downvoted me because I said "veteran web devs hate react"? I'm just saying what I've seen, and while I no longer care for react as much as I did, it's still my favourite way of making front end apps. I understand that people who live in twitter bubble or whatever don't like to hear opinions that pop it.
- jdorfman 4y ago> Do you think React will survive without Meta? I do. The ecosystem is strong and if handed over to a foundation like the OpenJS Foundation it has a better chance of evolving. From my perspective, React is what FB/Meta needs, not necessarily what the community wants. There is no oversight or governance which is concerning given that many developers make a living off of React. For an expanded explanation see YouTube/KTQVBXb0uPM?t=328
