In the past few years I think the ‘JavaScript community’ (whoever that is) has done a decent job at dispelling the reputation of ‘silly js devs, making a new framework every other week that you have to learn’.
This React Server Components seems to be a bunch of effort on throwing all that good will down the drain. It seems like they’re really excited about this new API and the react and nextjs teams have just charged forward with whatever this is, without really much consideration or anything else.
- shipscode 3y agoSounds like the initial hooks launch. A lot of goodwill was used up with that. It might look fine behind the desk at Meta on the React team, but on the ground on real world 2nd and 3rd rate dev teams the damage has been immense. You have entire teams of devs that can't understand useEffect for 2-3 years.. can't say that about pre-hook React.
- kaba0 3y agoAs mentioned elsewhere, hooks have very little criticism from any remotely experienced developer who used them, as they are simply an easier/better mental model. It is probably also easier for that “2nd or 3rd rate dev”, unless it is a legacy project where pre-hook react is mixed with it arbitrarily (and God save us, not even the “seniors” know what to make of that)
