Some of the main points I had: - At least _mentioning_ Vite directly on the "Create a Project" page _is_ genuinely a step in the right direction. That said, they're going out of their way to still not just directly say "

Pleased to say I had a meaningful hand in this :) As some background, this finally happened because: - React 19 broke CRA - I griped about it loudly on Bluesky ( https://bsky.app/profile/acemarke.dev/post/3lgg

Modern Yarn (currently on 4.x) works great. We use it in the Redux library repos. I don't think it ever hit a majority of usage, but the tool itself is solid. That said, yeah, PNPM has gotten more popularity lately.

I know Chris well enough from his writing and some conversations that I can vouch that "resume-driven development" is absolutely _not_ his motivation here. Chris is one of the most thoughtful and insightful engineers I can think o

Oh hey, that's my post :) I keep collecting more links and more points that I need to add in an update to that post. The latest thing we're running into is a conflict between the `browser` field in `package.json`, which some tools

I don't understand any of the statements in this post. They don't seem to form a coherent argument, and they don't match my understanding of how lockfiles work. There's a bunch of very strongly worded statements ("h

FWIW, with modern Redux Toolkit you _don't_ write handwritten nested immutable update logic - you write normal "mutating" code in a reducer and it becomes an immutable update thanks to the Immer library: - https://

What specifically are you referring to? The original `createClass` API was indeed deprecated and removed all the way back in 2017 [0]. You can still use them today with the separated `create-react-class` package. ES6 class components still

Yes, React uses semver. React 19 has been in development for over 2+ years - React 18.2 (the last meaningful minor release) came out in June 2022, so the release pace has been slow enough people have complained that it's _too_ slow: -

Hmm, that is a good point that `useActionState` accepts a reducer-like function (although I think it's async in this case?). And yeah, half of Redux's terminology is simply because the existing Flux Architecture libraries from the

FWIW, both Redux and Mobx were invented in 2015.

I maintain Redux, and I don't think Redux inspired this particular term usage (which came from the "Flux Architecture" pattern.) As far as I know this usage ultimately derives from HTML `<form action={}>`.

It can be more complex than that. When we shipped React-Redux v8, we rewrote our internals to drop our own subscription management logic, and switched to React's new `useSyncExternalStore` hook instead. However, `uSES` only was added

Seems like this is basically Rescript or Elm - a completely different language with the ability to interop with JS.

The biggest thing most people don't understand is that React re-renders recursively by default, regardless of whether any particular child component's props actually changed or not. Most of its behavior patterns follow from that o

This seems to be a pretty low-effort post without any real substantive details. I'd much rather see discussion of the "Parallel Evolution of React and Web Components" article that got posted earlier today. I don't agree

That bundle size + the size of your component. Just created a fresh Vite+React app and rendered a "hello world" component, and the resulting output is: dist/assets/index-uoOveHrm.js 142.66 kB │ gzip: 45.76 kB
