both times i was taught the concept, the prof asked if there was an "obvious" right way, to which 100% of the students raised a hand, then asked if it was big or little, and got a 50-50 split

nah, I'm not saying big or little is obviously right to me, I'm saying the names should be flipped according to how I think about it

but yah I forgot about the Gulliver's Travels part, of course it's a loving reference. at least it was decided way too early for it to be a monty python reference.

ends have meaning outside of "start and end". things can have a front end and a back end, or a heavy end and a light end, or a big end and a small end.

vue has some quirks to get used to but works really well and has a lot of features that make things easier. not needing webpack is also great because it doesn't really fit into the workflow of the platform i develop for

now task delegation and information sharing though. we just had a hands on meeting about that and my idea to replace lovely slow jira with trello was shot down by proposal to use a shared google spreadsheet for an entire department

we need a system that polls an external api periodically and the saves the results on our end. Work has started on a system that polls the api when it receives a kafka message and puts the result on another topic, a system which periodically puts empty messages on a topic, and a system that receives the result topic messages and exposes it as a table. Surely this will solve the complexity issue!

yeah i can make it work sure, but it feels, uh, regressive. either way our “manager” roundtable conclusion was that we each want a different thing and our discussions were aimed at personal, not global problems, which in normal language means at least a few more weeks of meetings on the subject until we start talking about the same thing

this is basically every js framework and library

on the other hand, if you don't use frameworks or libraries, then you're writing entirely in vanilla javascript

It's all the reactive stuff, it remaps everything under the hood so that it can trigger redraws appropriately when data changes.

That said, as long as you've got an error handler set up, this sort of thing is only really a problem with errors during the render.

The vue developer tools are reasonably functional as well, worth getting if you don't use them already since they can actually shed light on what the hell is going on under the layers of vue stuff.

Yarn add react-dom

Or if that's too much work let $ = React.createElement

virtual dom is a great performance gain but you should be allowed to turn it off and get a debuggable rendering stack

lmbo at the possibility of making that work though

well yeah, wouldn't we all - but if that's not an option, npm + typescript are your best bet at getting javascript to behave like a real programming language.

Earlier javascript frameworks may have used a virtual dom purely as a performance optimization, but in the react model don't you *have* to diff the output with the previous output in order to avoid deleting and recreating each element time you render (which probably wouldn't just have worse performance, but also cause all sorts of problems directly)?

Like if you don't want a virtual dom surely you can't use an approach where the view is a pure function of the state in the first place?

Or am I misunderstanding how this stuff works?

nah, you're basically right.

in theory though, deleting and recreating each element on each render should have performance problems but not correctness issues beyond stateful elements: inputs and anything highlighted

so far it's needs-suiting but I feel like knowing react is probably useful on more platforms (that I don't have to target right now)

react is barely a framework. It's more like a design pattern with a bunch of library support to make doing things "the react way" a bit easier. at least imho

first we laughed at them for claiming that they were "programming in html", then we continued laughing at them because they used php
now they are so insecure that they try to emulate big boy programming languages by adding build processes and compilation steps and linking steps and frameworks upon frameworks to a loving half assed scripting language originally intended to make animated crap follow the cursor, and they keep wrapping trivial one-liners into dedicated npm modules

I think this is a bit of an exaggeration, but perhaps the good thing about React is that it at least feels this way: you generally don't have to think about the details of the virtual dom stuff or the component model, etc. at all, so all you really have to worry about is your own code.
