Sorry, can someone do a ELI5? What does it mean to be React-like? Is it a drop-in replacement? Are React components compatible? Or it just looks like React (it does)? I'm going absolutely crazy trying to keep up-to-date with all frameworks coming out nowadays. Yesterday it was Svelte, today it's Inferno. What's good about using this instead of React? 3k of parsing instead of 40k is a huge improvement, but can we stil…

You totally can use Inferno. You can use a package on NPM called "inferno-compat" to alias out React to Inferno via Webpack/Babel/Browserify if you want to. Alternatively, you can use Inferno as is and it has JSX Babel plugin, all the same top-level APIs and has the same ES2015 components as React (although we've put them in their own package called "inferno-component", as some people don't use them). I hope that hel…

Thanks.

I think this is spot on. And is hard to understand while working for yourself and thinking your knowledge may become obsolete if you don't know the latest trending tech.

If your knowledge is becoming obsolete, then you weren't really, actually learning the concepts, you were just copy-pasting recipes.

You might have misinterpreted what I tried to say. I was talking about languages/frameworks, not the theory behind them. I don't think is feasible to go to a interview for a job that asks for node expertise saying you know the concepts behind node but you haven't used it yourself in a project.

I think it is reasonable, and I've actually gotten jobs that way.

Exactly. Without all explaining all of this, the rest of the documentation is completely worthless. > To quote a member of the React core team at Facebook: > Inferno 1.0 is really well written. It's how I would've rewritten React. I'd recommend reading its source to learn. So f king what? You want me to read the source to try to decypher why I would want to use your new immature library? Another question is 'who is t…

note: I'm the author of Inferno. If you're comfortable with what you have right now. I don't expect you to switch to Inferno. If you're happy with your app, it works great, it's performance is where you want it and your team/company love it – you'd be mad to switch to something because you saw it posted on Hacker News. Inferno isn't here to make your life hard, it's giving you an opportunity to use it when the time m…

I switched to Inferno recently after 2 years on React. Congrats for the amazing project, it truly makes a difference in mobile and even on pcs.
