I'm really sad that this sort of attitude is common in Hacker News. I am not a huge fan of JS, but what I hate about this is not that it's critical of JS, but that it's clearly just a knee-jerk cynical reaction. This framework in question is not doing what PHP/Ruby frameworks were doing. Whether what it's doing is a good idea or not is neither here nor there, it's just simply that you aren't understanding what it is that it's doing, and yet still criticizing it as if you do.
We don't need this circus every time a new JS thing is released.

- datalopers 4y agoThe fact that you think it’s materially different is amusing. The only “magic” here is injecting JS shims to handle bidirectional syncs for certain components (“islands” in their parlance). That is also something we’ve had for a very long time, though admittedly it was kludgy as hell two decades ago (ajax polling, SSE, long-polling, comet, etc).
