Don't get me wrong I completely agree and I was that person using Knockout and Backbone before all this craziness.
I've met younger developers in their 20s and 30s completely enthralled in React and everything hippie this time around. Same people who are unfortunately completely oblivious how to use HTML or CSS. Moreover, even when it comes to JS they are also completely unready to implement the simplest of algorithms, but instead try to use some obscure library.
But it is also unfortunately true that the market insists on asking for React even if not the fastest or with the best DX. Personally, I have been asked questions about how React operates internally, plus why its the fastest.
I worry if the trend will change and I am all in having all the other options as well e.g. solid, svelte, marko, in case most developers realize where we are heading to, which is a React-ified world, which still lacks commonality, since no two React projects are the same.
Things have been coming together. We have basically a big bingo card as we are filling in features right now. We just got end to end hydration tentatively working the last day or so (made our Hackernews Demo). There are still quite a few missing features on the more complex side, including automatic async handling (ie.. what enables streaming) so there is still quite a bit of work. I think when you consider documentation, migration plans, integrations there are lot more moving parts that need to be tackled beyond just implementing this. But since the new year we've been able to focus on this more and have been making good progress.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
