I always wonder where is the VB6/Windows Forms for web apps. I don't want to know the intricacies of Rect/Angular/Vue, I just want to do a declaration of the UI, not programming. Zillions of apps doing the same thing and spending weeks and months on the same problems. I start to think that this is not interesting for, for example, Microsoft because the developer market will shrink and their developers, developers, de…

Ionic Stencil let’s you wrap webcomponents and turn them into React, Vue, or Angular components. MS should use that or do something of a similar nature. Otherwise there is a impedance mismatch between this and what most or used to.
Not quite, Ionic Stencil is library to helps build webcomponents. Since fast.design are webcomponents, they can be used in any with any framework, no wrapping required.

The foundation package sounds a lot like the Lion components that ING Bank open sourced last year. It is indeed super handy to not have to worry about all the browser compatibility and accessibility issues!

Took a quick look: It has limited components. It isn't fast on my mobile device. Some components appear to be broken. Why would I ever use this?

Handling data React passes all data to Custom Elements in the form of HTML attributes. For primitive data this is fine, but the system breaks down when passing rich data, like objects or arrays. In these instances you end up with stringified values like some-attr="[object Object]" which can't actually be used.
Handling events Because React implements its own synthetic event system, it cannot listen for DOM events coming from Custom Elements without the use of a workaround. Developers will need to reference their Custom Elements using a ref and manually attach event listeners with addEventListener. This makes working with Custom Elements cumbersome.
Stencil provides wrapping to circumvent these limitations. https://stenciljs.com/docs/react

Any idea how FAST compares to using storybook directly? ( https://storybook.js.org/ )

That's the selling point, but is not quite true. At least a while ago there was still some ceremony needed at least in React. You could say that that's React's fault, but it doesn't really matter whose fault it is - Web Components are different from standard DOM elements, and thus need special treatment from frameworks that interact with standard DOM elements.
Howdy! I'm the architecture lead on FAST at Microsoft. There's a great conversation here with lots of questions, so I thought I would chime in and try to clarify a few things. The first point of note is that FAST is built on Web Component standards. I see a number of comments that indicate some folks aren't familiar with Web Components. So, let me give a brief explanation. First, the term "Web Components" is an umbre…
Ok, let's get on to a few other items mentioned below... * Being Dependent on Slots - Web components don't need to use slots and neither does FAST. When slots are needed, FAST provides facilities to respond to changes in slots and respond to changes in slotted child attributes. The render system is reactive in nature and specifically has features that enable rendering around these slot scenarios. * Attributes are Str…
Why is that at MS... Switching to teams everyone’s face turned to mush which while it might save on aggregate network traffic, it greatly reduces the niceness of the conversation.
