Can we please talk about how much reactive programming sucks for UIs?
I miss all the people who switched from angular to react for a reason in these discussions... I'd bet none of those are going to move to svelte.
- feoren 4y agoYes, please do talk about how reactive programming sucks. Because I've come to believe it's absolutely mandatory for keeping an advanced UI performant, mostly bug-free, and limited in technical debt. Absolutely mandatory. And yet I agree: it sucks. It sucks donkey balls. Why does this absolutely critical technology suck so much?
- renlo 4y agoI switched from Angular to React 8 years ago, and I've no interest in Svelte. If I recall correctly the primary problem with Angular was $watch, race conditions, etc, meanwhile with React your state is your state, purely functional and idempotent, which is a feature of "reactive programming". Reactive programming is fantastic.
