How good was react actually? I talk about reactjs and compare it to other libraries and frameworks like nextjs, php, and Mustache. reactjs vs nextjs reactjs vs angular reactjs vs php
Enjoyed that! Lots of other libraries have attempted to solve the same problem. KnockoutJS was an early one that went under the radar. Be curious how you think Svelte and SolidJS stack up.
I'm not as much of a Svelte/SolidJS expert as I am with the other frameworks, but overall: - I like react better, especially the direction react is going with an emphasis on functional components. For me it's just a logically very simple way to think about the world, to have everything as a tree of components, and every component is (mostly) just something that inputs properties and outputs state. - From my understanding, Svelte provides a lot of like programming convenience/little syntax sugar over react, but this has never really been an issue for me as I use another library built on top of react, so I guess I just sort of avoided this problem entirely (reagent-project.github.io). - Svelte (and several alternatives to react) can have smaller bundle sizes, especially for small applications. React needs all this code in order to like set up it's representation of the DOM tree, and do all of this state management to get started, whereas other frameworks give many of the same features, but are a little bit more small and nimble. I admire the goal of having blazingly fast downloads and performance, and I wouldn't fault anyone for using a different framework (or even ignoring everything and using pure HTML/making a 1990s style website) if it made their website go fast on small hardware. - I think the idea of re-rendering variables that change rather than full components is neat, but it feels too constraining for me and the way I use react. I'd like to see something sort of in between, that uses more of a smaller/svelte style update when possible, but has the ability to re-render the react DOM when necessary, and then sort of implement the solidjs state machine as an optimization that runs under the hood, with no devX changes to react.
Why does this channel not have more views and videos!? Love all your content.

ClojureScript with reagent is really nice
I have to agree, despite its flaws, react solves a problem that many faced and solved it well.
The video has so much more than what the title just says. Absolutely brilliant stuff.
Thanks! Comments like this keep me going!
I am at 7 mins now, and I just noticed that it just has 161 views TF? how could it have such less views?
