For what it's worth, the walmart.com websites takes forever to load (> 10 seconds) on my single core laptop in Firefox. edit: I should also state that my OS is Ubuntu.
Archetypes? Gulp? Welcome to the age of vapidity, where Meaning is pastoral and abstraction sacred.

I'll grant this is a subtle point, but why did you choose to use the word "archetype", borrowing a term to describe what most understand to be generated boilerplate code? Why not call it a framework, or an app generator? Why did you, collectively I will assume, choose to assign a new term to an existing concept?
The archetype terminology comes from the use of Builder; you can get a rundown of what an archetype really is here, independently of its usage in Electrode: https://formidable.com/open-source/builder/ Framework and app generator are really quite far off from what an archetype provides. An archetype is like an npm module template, but not one that is used to generate code files and then discarded, but more like a live…

Given Walmart's deep contributions and investments in the Backbone ecosystem [0], which were impressive in their own right, I'm even more impressed that they seem to have switched to a React-based front end stack in a few years. That seems pretty agile for a company the size of Walmart. [0] https://github.com/walmartlabs/thorax
Although it is great that this happened and I applaud open source contributions, especially by bigger companies, I wonder what the reasons for such a rewrite were. And why the online platform manager approved it. People often try to convince me of shiny-new-thing-39432 and sometimes we try on a non-risk project and usually we find out it's the same or (more often) worse than what we used before. I like React and theo…

That was really well crafted, thank you. Much easier to digest than some of the docs. Though, I'm still not convinced it warrants a new way of describing a collection of patterns for various concerns, e.g. a framework.
Exogen, hope we can use what you wrote :D

Ironic given that your comment is the most vapid in this entire thread.

Hey Alex, I have a quick unrelated question. Why is Walmart.ca contracted outside if you have walmart labs? Well at least the front-end. Hope it's okay to ask you that.
On a side note, just fun info, I know that Walmart.ca will be moving to electrode eventually, we don't have a date on the roadmap yet. We've built Electrode to be able to reuse the same components while maintaining a different brands styles, content, etc
