Thanks for your reply and your openness. It's great that you find the time to answer random guys on HN. Since you're here... I do wonder, how much of the React documentation did you write? The 'style' of the writing seems to match yours, e.g. when discussing Immutable JS.

Further, slightly late, reply. I've been looking more at Reason. It's React (not strictly but plays nicely) + Typescript + Immutable JS + Redux all in one fully integrated package. Looks awesome, thanks for the reminder.

I wouldn't be surprised if at least a couple of React's innovations and release cycles correspond with Facebook's bonus incentives for their engineers. There's nothing wrong with that, but I find it highly more likely then some great conspiracy to soak up the dev time of completely unrelated companies.

But it's a bit perplexing to me that it's seen as us trying to force people to do more wor…

Hey I appreciate your reply and wanted to clarify that my comment wasn't well thought out - I didn't read the article and was reacting emotionally to the bizarre theory above. Thank you for your work on React and effort communicating back to the community.

And honestly, you don't really have to keep up with the latest version of React. We're still on 15.4 – almost 2 years old! Works great for us.

Out of curiosity, anything preventing you from upgrading to 16.x ?

We're running a startup and upgrading React just isn't a priority.
