Incredibly so.
Our frontend devs gave us a talk on React (mainly for backend devs, who know enough frontend to fix bugs).
Diagrams with arrows here there and everywhere. NPM install downloads a significant chunk of the internet just to display a hello world page. Compared to what I was doing in Django with server side templates and a bit of JQuery a few days ago this is incredible. It takes twice the works, for very limited benefit in our case at least. Most web apps are just displaying some data and a bit of form validation.
- Tade0 4y agoThat's just React, which both has the highest market share and a culture of following the latest fad combined with piecing together applications from multiple tiny modules(because "it's a library not a framework"). Also jQuery becomes slow and unmaintainable very fast, especially considering that modern frameworks do a lot of tricks to increase performance, like detecting a row swap in a list. Next gen frameworks like Svelte and SolidJS managed to avoid some of that because they compile to a minimal, Vanilla JS app which is easy to read. Especially Svelte at least gives you a decent stack trace.
