Speaking as someone partially responsible for turning the web into "some misfit wannabe app engine :(", yes – those were some of my favorite books when they were released.

Most humans would interpret "novell chief executive named to head internet company" to mean "novell is an internet company and its chief executive just became its head" which is incorrect (and a little nonsensical since

Most people also think they're a better-than-median driver.

Oh, ClojureScript also seems nice.

js_of_ocaml and BuckleScript both do a very good job with OCaml.

I love Swift and work on the web, so I would love to see a serious Swift to JS compiler. Unfortunately, this isn't it. One major part of Swift is its value types; many core types, including arrays, are passed by value, like a C struct.

acdlite is correct here -- most users won't need to worry about priorities and it's unclear to what extent we'll even expose them. The unit tests do not describe a public API (and we're not close to settling on one).

We usually strip the commit history since it's hard to audit the history for confidential info, but we don't normally remove comments when open-sourcing things. I'm not sure on the specifics of this case though.

The joke seems to be that the docs are exactly where you would expect to find this info.

Well, that fact combined with me saying they are not both managers must mean that Andy is not a manager. Seems unfair to claim "Elizabeth's post makes it sound like she's a manager-type" when she literally says she is a

What license update?

I've worked extensively with both of the first two and they are excellent teammates; I'd be happy to work with either of them again. They are both very productive, and your hypothesis that they are both managers is incorrect.

There's a few minutes' slack so you shouldn't need to rush.

Alternatively: the game's success (and profits) show that none of that matters so they were wise not to waste time on it. There's no way to perfectly harden an app like this, anyway.

That file is GPL but parts of it were adapted from MIT-licensed code (which the MIT license allows). It can be treated as GPL.

One of React's big selling points is easy integration into existing apps so we don't plan to neglect non-CLI users.

Insurance companies are profitable because they charge more then they pay out, in aggregate. If you have adequate capital, it is cheaper to self-insure since you don't need to pay for the profits of the insurance company.

Not sure, sorry. I know that the Firebase team was interested but I'm not sure if they ended up using it.

I work on React. I'm not a lawyer so I won't try to paraphrase the license -- I actually think the wording is pretty simple already -- but to be clear, only the patent grant might terminate if you were to sue Facebook; the BSD lic

Google employees formerly were not allowed to use React but now are after the patent grant was changed (in response to their feedback). I know of several teams at Microsoft using React Native, so I assume there's no concern there eithe

Yup, no news here. For people who already know that, this was designed as a post with specific examples that tend to pop up in React codebases and advice about how to migrate away from them.

I meant "community" as opposed to the official guidance we supply, where we try hard to keep things simple. I know that it's easy to slip into the trap of making things more complex and I don't blame anyone for that ment

Can you outline the biggest problems with React's mixins? I haven't heard this complaint before.

As performance optimization goes, I've never seen a system for building apps where you never need to worry about performance. Our goal with React is to give good performance most of the time and to make it easy to optimize when you hav

If simple things were possible before with React, then they still are, and that's not changing. You don't need Flux and Redux a lot of the time; in my experience they're overused and React component state is underused. I agre

Going higher would generally mean you need more parking for the amount of land the building takes up.
