My work seems to have made you angry which makes me sad. You’ll at least be happy to learn that useEffect will be sync if the render itself was sync in React 18. Ofc if you do an a…

I think this misses the point of what a senior developer is. Nobody builds a huge thing by themselves better than multiple people can. Being a senior developer is enabling a few ot…

Not quite. This PR is almost ready to do it. https://github.com/facebook/prepack/pull/397 Currently it is blocked on Map/Set support in the output which is an outstanding issue. We…

(I'm "Sebastian".) It meant to read C. It definitely wasn't C++. However, now I'm curious if I'm confusing it with the later Amiga games. I'll need to look into this. I was 8 years…

Yea, this is clearly not enough to be a standard but we don't really know of a standard for this and it is not really our primary expertise. If Sentry or others that understand thi…

If it spread to a become a defacto standard format, wouldn't that be a good thing? That way you only have to deal with this once and it will work everywhere. At that time, the size…

Parse time is the new bottleneck of modern client-side web apps. Of course React on its own isn't going to move the needle but if other libraries follow along it just might. With b…

Note that the stateless part is mostly just a stepping stone to a stateful variant. https://github.com/reactjs/react-future/tree/master/07%20-%2...

React.DOM is still in 0.13.

The point of this is exactly to reduce the library size AND getting to a stable 1.0 release. By making the class system optional, it becomes an optional dependency which reduces th…

This is actually a way to eventually reduce the size of the library since it makes the class system optional. We're definitely considering optional module based systems instead of …

This is actually an anti-pattern that we're explicitly trying to get rid of. The fewer components you have, the fewer optimization hooks you have. This also have subtle changes in …

Yea, note that mithril is on that list. The syntax was where people unified. There wasn't agreement on semantics and this is moving closer to that. It's possible that this will eve…

In CoffeeScript it might look something like this: element = type: 'div' props: className: 'container', children: [ type: 'span', props: className: 'foo' type: CustomClass, props: …

Hi, this was a tough call for us to make. We wanted to everything we could to avoid extra bloat for everyone. In the end, most people tend to use some kind of extra helper, even if…

The difference is that if you use Object.observe to track changes, then you don't have the ability to hold onto the previous version of an object and know what the old value was. T…

We have a tool that does Canvas drawing from React too. Currently some pieces are cached in retained mode but it's just an implementation detail for certain performance characteris…

React exposes event handlers and setState methods which are seemly mutable and Object Oriented. This is because React is designed for large scale organizations and to be approachab…

React does the diffing on the output (which is a known serializable format, DOM attributes). This means that the source data can be of any format. It can be immutable data structur…

Consider the architectural difference of React vs. one of the similar "view model" frameworks. It's similar to the difference between Git vs. SVN. Other view model frameworks typic…

Here's an implementation in WebGL http://blog.calyptus.eu/seb/2010/11/webgl-not-just-for-3d/
