- eggie5 4y agoyes and doesn't have traction inside ebay either :)
- mpeg 4y agoI don’t have inside info like you might, but it seems like a mean-spirited comment considering ebay.com uses marko, as well as other sites in the ebay group. It definitely has not gained a lot of traction outside of ebay but there is a fair amount of buzz around the marko6 release with a completely new tags-based language.

- chronogram 4y agoSo you're saying it doesn't have traction internally based on personal experience or based on what you read in an app?
- impalallama 4y agowhat do you want a signed affidavit from every ebay engineer
- eggie5 4y agoLOL
- celestius 4y agonot a good sign. why do they hate it?
- abrahms 4y agoPut simply, many people are using older versions. There have been large developer experience improvements in the past year or so.
- no_wizard 4y agoSolid JS guy cut his teeth maintaining it
- pier25 4y agoI don't think so. IIRC Solid existed years before Ryan joined the Marko team.
- OJFord 4y agoAnd eBay is easily the jankiest website I use on an at all frequent basis. Click about in profile/settings and you get randomly shuttled about between pages designed in (by the looks of them) 2010, 2002, 2003, and 2016...
