Is it safe to say they're now tied to economic growth in developing nations? I'm sure they'll find ways to make more money out of rich countries for the sake of short-term growth, but if India alone is over 1 billion people,

I think it's crazy how the same narrative changes so much. I remember the internet and social media used to be so much better than TV. TV was controlled by big corporations who wanted to brainwash everyone. 1/3 of the time was ads

I'd recommend starting with the application as an abstract entity: start with the state and not think about the UI. Once you build a data-model and action scheme from there, working a de-coupled UI is usually simpler.

> Well because the UI isn't just a function of state, it's also a function of those actions (the actions have to literally be passed in to the rendering function). Wait, they don't though. That's the whole point of fu

react-hyperscript seems to also parse class names ('div.example'), ids ('h1#heading') and come with other goodies. Looks pretty interesting, and I appreciate they doing away with the need of a pre-processor ¯\_(ツ)_/
