I'm still waiting for a component economy that could keep up with e.g. Delphi's VCL. Right now, it's either big UI frameworks or stuff you've got a hard time integrating (e.g. they download half the internet, require 28 properties to connect/style). Pure rendering model (i.e. independence from data) alone doesn't cut it.

I'm not sure but this sounds like the writer has unknowingly stumbled upon react.

Unknowingly? He mentions React by name. This was written in 2015, when React was far less popular. Guillermo clearly decided to bet big on React after this- his company Zeit produces next.js, one of the nicer React frameworks out there. (Can somebody add [2015] to the title?)

yikes, my bad!

How was the view counter made? It's cool to see it increase in realtime.

It uses Firebase i think

Yes there's an open firebase websocket connection that emits the count.

example payload:

{"t":"d","d":{"b":{"p":"views/2015-pure-ui","d":514866},"a":"d"}}

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Also, the author is advocating a UI model that has pre-existed React, it was just popularised by React. You could argue that Elm is actually closer to what the author is advocating.

Too much focus is on the tech in this thread, I personally read it as outlining an approach similar to Bret Victor's[0]. React or whatever is a mere implementation detail.
