1. Template syntax instead of JSX, the latter being unfamiliar and initially off-putting to many. 2. Two-way data binding. Convenient, no need to write handler functions. 3. Comes off as a better version of Angular. Appealing if you're

Please enlighten me — what kind of state management does Angular give you for free?

You are probably right that Angular 1.x devs will ramp up a bit faster in Vue than React. Angular and Vue both add template syntax to HTML, which will be more familiar to Angular devs. However, I do not think initial ramp up time should mat

Like Smallshire mentions in the talk I think the way forward is gradual typing, like you have in e.g. TypeScript. Best of both worlds.

> If you look at Go's concurrency model it was entirely mapped out in the 1970s Isn't that Go's problem, though — that there isn't a single thing in the language that wasn't entierly mapped out in the 1970s?

Admittedly, I skimmed through this, but I miss a balanced discussion of the cost/benefits of static typing. I could see no discussion of the benefits of dynamically typed languges. Insted arguments for static typing are enumerated with

How does Inferno ( https://infernojs.org/ ) compare to Preact? Seems to be faster than both React and Preact.

Not nice of Java to block the queues. Especially since we're talking about concurrency beginners. It's hard enough for them as it is.

I'm not complaining that JS isn't Haskell. Underneath the C/Java syntax JS is a small, simle, Lispy, dynamic language — if you like that kind of thing. JS' syntax hide that. CoffeeScript helped reveal it. > In other w

One of the things I dislike most about JavaScript is the syntax. I always thought the Javaesque syntax hid the some of the nice semantics underneath. CoffeeScript and LiveScript help reveal that language. I really hope Reason doesn't m

I agree. Type-related bugs of the kind that TS can catch are indeed rare and trivial. However, TS does help with documentation, intellisense and refactoring. Personally, I will usually go with Babel/JS, since I don't find that the

The intellisense you get with TS is quite nice, as is improved refactoring. I also think typing in function signatures is a good thing and increases comprehension. But the type-safety you get with these kinds of static languages only catche

I agree that is the logical consequence. Elm even more so than ClojureScript, imo.

I agree with the article's main point. In the market share fight between React and Angular, React has won — and for good reason, I think. Angular 4 is an improvement over Angular 1.x, but Angular's main problem is still needless c

Exactly, same as me. It's a very effective way of setting boundaries, and if my employer has a problem with it I know the place is not for me.

I agree. The benefits of static typing (catching trivial errors, documentation) usually do not outweigh the costs. https://www.infoq.com/presentations/dynamic-static-typing

I've been using Macs since 2008. My next machine will probably be a Thinkpad or a Dell. Apple has dropped the ball too many times now, both hardware and software vice. And somehow everything Apple does now feels stale and off mark.
