Here is the agenda: http://conf.reactjs.org/schedule

Unfortunate that there are no TypeScript related talks Edit: it appears that there is a talk related to TypeScript

"Type Systems Will Make You a Better JavaScript Developer" - Jared Forsyth

That talk appears that it will make the argument for using Flow/Typescript.

React is such BS. Its sole purpose for existing is to make simple tasks unnecessarily complicated.

This argument has been applied to virtually every framework or library at some point; the points and counterpoints rarely change and the result is inevitably to use right tool for your type AND scale of problem.

FWIW React's purpose is the opposite of what you said; it aims to make complex UI tasks simple by allowing you to compartmentalize your UI into isolated components.

If your UI isn't that complex or your application has very little state to manage then I could see how React would be overkill.

For anyone interested in more details about React Fiber, the recommended links in [0] provide a great jumping-off point. For many apps, especially ones that render large amounts of data to a screen and haven't done (or can't do) much optimizing with componentShouldUpdate, it will likely be an almost-seamless drop-in upgrade that will make things feel truly more "snappy." A video (of a demanding stress test) is worth a million words: [1]. And it's coming soon: [2]

Starting a react-native project next month. Will it have any impact there?

After using it in couple of projects, we see it as making complex tasks really intuitive. Maybe you are using it for some wrong problem.

I had the same feeling.

Coming from ExtJS and Ember, React felt rather simple.

But Redux is a whole nother story :(
