dotJS 2024 - Minko Gechev - Converging Web Frameworks

As web app requirements evolve over time, shared goals emerge between web frameworks. Seeing opportunity in this overlap, Google is converging two fundamentally different frameworks. Outside of Google, we see frameworks aligning on the same primitives and patterns to support the evolving web. In this talk, you'll learn about these foundational patterns and how to approach this world of convergence practically.

Minko, Angular is doing great, do not infest it with React hooks, we do not react

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

Why would you use Hooks when you have Signals? Hooks suck

[@kedevked]

Very informative talk !

[@krishnathjadhav1129]

One day this convergence will move every angularJS concept to its corresponding ReactJS concepts.

18:50 this is a massive understatement, working in Angular feels nothing like React, in fact I can't think of any two frameworks were the so called "facade" doesn't have a huge impact on your day to day. It might be all the same to people working on the internals of the frameworks but definitely not to consumers/users using it to build things!

[@JLarky]

converging two frameworks always has a risk of making them both worse

[@JLarky]

React and Angular are the same --- well, that's pretty insulting to React, isn't it? :D

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

Depends on how you see it. I use both and React is (for me/us) super inferior. It's messy . It feels like workarounds for everything.

[@JLarky]

@@LarsRyeJeppesen you could have been wrong without telling the whole world about it 🤷

[@xucongzhan9151]

Not really :D
