    Looks perfectly fine in FF 144.0 on Mac OS.

    I would assume that lot of people just find the JSX equivalent a lot more readable and familiar (a matter of opinion, of course.) this is easy {list.map((l) => {l} )} > you automat…

    Nothing is "wrong" with it, the design is just something from the 90s/early 2000s.

    One case I've come across them using it for is delivering updates for visible tweets in a timeline (e.g. like/retweet counts being mutated).

    Not exactly a framework, but a React app from 2014 will still work great in 2019 and can be updated with very little pain. Build tools wise, a simple Webpack/Babel config from 2014…

    Why is "map an array with a function" unintuitive but "filter an array with a function" isn't?

    I'm sure they do. This is pretty standard at lots of big tech companies (Airbnb, most likely Uber, etc).

    DOM APIs have much improved since jQuery first arrived, so while that was the case originally, it's become less true over time. It's definitely still less verbose though, for examp…

    The article says they will no longer allow Touch ID to trust a computer, I imagine they also won't allow Face ID.

    I personally think that the syntax is great considering it's being added to an existing language. await/async allows you to opt-in to having your code behave in a synchronous-like …

    For view/UI, yes (if you can call React a framework). I personally do not use jQuery anymore as there is not much need to deal with the DOM directly when using React and when there…
