React was a solution to a ten years ago problem
- youngtaff 1y agoYou can downvote it but it doesn’t make it any less true Alex Russell has written swathes of arguments about Reacts performance issues https://infrequently.org/2024/11/if-not-react-then-what/ https://infrequently.org/2024/11/if-not-react-then-what/ The DOM has become much faster since React started over a decade ago, the VDOM really isn’t needed anymore even for app like experiences React is about developer preference over user experience
- ch_sm 1y agoAgree that react isn’t the best implementation of the concept, both in terms of ergonomics and efficiency. But a react-like framework is still very much needed to create complex apps in the browser. So IMHO react is a solution to a very current problem, only not an ideal one.
