It’s just like the target / selector pattern from NeXT AppKit over thirty years ago… Except that the syntax is clunkier and less type-safe than what they did using 1994 Objective-C.

It’s not exaggeration to say that the web has set UIs back by decades.

The other day I was trying to make editable table cells in a leading “enterprise-grade” React component framework. It required several screenfuls of obscure and brittle code. The same operation used to require implementing a single delegate method in 1990s AppKit.
