React like angular seems to me very much a solution from a bygone time. The time when internet was slow and expensive.
I find very little reason for anyone, except services in the insta scale, to actually use this abomination, since CSS and html deliver the same user experience with plain SSR.
- addicted 3y agoThe internet is still slow and expensive for huge swathes of the world. React is still not a better option for them. The truth is that React was very good and probably would have remained pretty good to great even today if the original form had been iterated upon. What we’re seeing today is nothing like the original react and should have been a completely different library in the first place. I suspect if this completely library had been created without the advantage of piggy backing off the original highly successful React library’s fame, it would have made little to no headway on its own strength. Heck, I’d be open to an argument that what we’re seeing today, a DSL that’s focused on making NextJS work, could even be considered a 3rd or 4th different library under the React moniker, after original React, hooks based React (even here the goal and meaning of hooks changed midway) and then the current NextJS DSL.
- zarzavat 3y agoI get that some people only work on web pages, but can we at least have some acknowledgement that web apps exist? Some people (me) use React to build interactive web apps. That’s what it was designed for, and it works rather well. SSR is completely useless for me.
