Indeed. There is also the fact that internal and external messaging is likely much different. I'd not be too surprised if there hadn't been some attrition within their ranks (especially devs) leading up to this point.
A good deal of this comes down personalities; yours and the rest of the team. Even with tooling it can be difficult to stay connected...but for someone else it could be difficult to stay focused with the ambiance that comes with a lot of "modern" office configs.
I agree with your disagreement. Furthermore, I'm curious how this edge case could have been mitigated using an alternative tool? most of my VCS experience is with git, and a very little SVN.
I'm an advocate of edge computing for sensor data aggregation. I don't think round trip computation will be viable for soft real time applications for quite some time, unless that computation requires operating over large datasets (where it's prohibitive to store all it locally). Just my opinion (and some experience), hardly an authority.
It's funny to me; when I got my first taste of "web apps" it was writing c apps to process cgi requests a bazillion years ago. It is neat to see people advocating for native compiled code in this area. I do lots of node these days and full stack so I appreciate the client side leaning for routing and rendering. If you don't need SSR then I'm sure you could create a very performant server in rust or c. Sounds fun!
...but I agree with many of these comments; I thought it was odd (to be charitable) but after using it find it to be quite nice. Redux is what I see over used (imo) and at times almost an antipattern
Idk, pointing to issues like deep dependency within the Node community isn't the best argument. It's healthy to be skeptical of dependencies imo, especially in light of issues like the infamous left pad problem.
Dan is correct (naturally); depending on complexity and scope redux can be a drag. For a small project I will use an event emitter to communicate state change requests to my top level component. These sort of things tend to only have a handful of components anyhow.
I was attempting to confirm that these are all points are important. Being too arrogant to learn and being in incompetent are two entirely different things.
So long as you don't use JSX you certainly never need to transpire. I believe there is also a shim to do client side jsx parsing but is not encouraged for use with prod code
