The problem is, I worked on these, half of my life. And while I agree that declarative rendering has its upsides, I am not blind to downsides and bait-and-switch-complexity tricks. React is pretending to be a functional “not your concern how it’s done” language without any safety nets or execution models these usually provide.
- phailhaus 4y agoIf we agree that declarative rendering has its upsides, then it is ridiculous to keep moaning that the complexity is "nuts" and that everyone's just insane for no reason. React is what a declarative model looks like. It eliminates an entire class of UI, state, and behavior management issues, in exchange for working within its rendering engine. If you're looking to build a complex frontend, that is extremely attractive.
