I never, ever bothered to learn React. Stuck with .NET/C#. If I have to write web UI, I use Angular, Blazor, and Razor MVC. React never made any sense to me, and the more I saw people using it, the more it reconfirmed my belief that it was a no-go. Usually, people win if they do the opposite of what the mass is doing :)

.NET and C# are the opposite of what everyone is doing?

I never, ever bothered to learn React or .NET/C#.

Stuck with C/C++.

If I have to write web UI, I don't.

React and .NET/C# made sense to me but are nauseating abominations of mediocre corporate tech, and the more I saw people using them, the more it reconfirmed my belief that they were a no-go.

This must be satire, at least I hope

> Andrew Clark’s vision of using more compiler magic to solve for React’s shortcomings is indeed a very Facebook-esque approach to solving problems with performance and suitability

and

> Much of the innovation in the UI space is now happening around the edges of the React ecosystem: Solid.js, Preact.js, Svelte.js, Vue.js, Astro.js, Qwik.js, Marko.js

- Solid.js requires *babel-preset-solid* [1]

- Selvte has a compiler

- Astro components are custom `.astro` files

- Qwik.js ships an optimizing compiler [2]

- Vue has `@vue/compiler-sfc` [3]

React is fine, stable and easy to upgrade

Nope, its what I do.

Same with kubernets/microservices/insert-buzz-word - if I see a lot of evangelists praising it - then I know for sure to stay away. :)

Yes, I am aware that .NET is popular, but there are always exceptions.

Which version of C++ ?

Love the comment.

Synthetic benchmarks should be retired. Build a real app, measure real impact. Unless your users insert 1000 rows, of course.

Other than that, I agree with the general premise of React becoming the new IBM, that's totally fair.
