Nice article, good summary of the purpose of unidirectional UI approach like Redux's, although it doesn't get as much into persistent data structures as maybe it could have. What's the point of the exclamation mark after cert

The subreddits mentioned above are alt right subs like /r/The_Donald . They are openly protesting the firing of the memo author by using extensions like AdNauseum that interfere with Google's revenue stream.

Despite being downvoted, this assertion about TDD is true. It can provide a very interactive experience when programming, even with languages with little natural interactivity. But you have to know how to set up the tests.

So a static build is not possible?

All in all, I agree. However, I'm a self-taught software developer who could do (and frequently do do) my job without Stackoverflow.com. Furthermore, given enough time, I'm also confident I could build from scratch any of the fra

I personally am most worried about Facebook's attitude toward dissent on this issue. There's clearly an overwhelming number of developers who want Facebook to simply adopt an established open source license, preferably just BSD,

Thank you. You pretty eloquently summed up my thoughts about this entire situation. I'm sad, because Facebook runs some pretty cool open source projects. But I will no longer contribute to them if this is their attitude. It's

Patent applications are public for a minimal time period, 18 months at the very most. But obviously patents are public. React has been open source for over 2 years now. It's highly-likely, almost certain, that any React-related Face

If we use the "minimalist" interpretation like you and others propose here, then I'm stumped by Facebook would bother. It's such a tiny , ultra-specific advantage for Facebook. Why throw this gas on the fire for such

Have you looked into preact? For most projects, it's just a few lines in webpack. Immutable js is different, but shouldn't be that much work.

What the hell? None of this makes any sense. What is Facebook up too?

by jnbiche 9y ago
Your explanation really doesn't jibe with the explanation given in Facebook's post. If what you say is true, why do they make a point about this patent grant protecting them against patent trolls? There's something tricky abo

by jnbiche 9y ago
Is this is true, then why the hell is Facebook digging in like this? They're going to ruin their hard-earned open source creds for very little gain.

Patents are public, and Facebook does not have a vdom patent. It's puzzling that this is even a question.
682.
by jnbiche 9y ago
You're missing the fact that if you sue Facebook for any patent infringement, even a legitimate one (say, you're the creator of some new hardware), Facebook will revoke your React license. Also, Facebook has no vdom patent. It&

I agree, and I for one will start using Preact and/or Inferno henceforth.

Wow, that is pretty disingenuous. Clearly, BSD+Patents places some extra conditions on the BSD license, you don't have to be a lawyer to understand that. I mean, several people have provided the legal reasons elsewhere on this thre

It did make it to ES6, but the engines failed to implement the spec.

Well, not surprised, because they actually did the work and implemented the spec calling for implicit tailcalls, and then it turned out that the other JS engines were to lazy or biased to implement it themselves (mind, all the other parts o
