Well apple themselves are pushing swiftUI and I suspect it will be the main (and only) approach as time goes on, even though its just a wrapper around "older" approach...

no, not really, PQC is already being discussed in pretty much every relevant crypto thing for couple years alearady and there are multiple PQC algos ready to protect important data in banking etc as well

while jquery had a gajillion of exotic apis to do pretty much everything, react is, frankly, pure js with handful of apis: jsx (html with pure js), useState/useEffect/useMemo (rarely you need more), and initial hydration function. Rest is utility libraries, bundler, and all the wondeful things that brings you endless headache and depression because without them fulfilling yet another business req would take 10x more time

debugger is very far from being feature-complete, I would call it MVP at the moment; lets see if they will iterate on that or will quickly go back to new shiny thing...

they are not intrusive but their entire focus changed on that instead of other features. Entire Git view feels abandoned in half done state yet they spent entire month working on AI chats, AI agents, their own AI edit (that's priced 20 per month yet they boast how light and performant it is -- why isn't it free local model then and why its priced worse than copilot?)

They're moving from "making awesome code editor" into yet another "buy our ai" product

I hate the direction they're going to be honest with this giga focus on AI bullshit. Only good part added was zeta (their own predictive editing model that jumps across the file where it predicts you want to edit your typo etc AND have a "subtle" mode), but they price it at 20/month, which is absurd.

> I don't want to learn a complex framework. I don't want to learn magic that I don't understand without reading the documentation (useState, createSignal et al)

I'm always suprised reading statements like that. No offence, but maybe you're in wrong career if you don't want to learn how most popular and important tools of today work... Not to mention that its so simple you can learn everything required to be efficient during lunch break

Never understood this posts. React as a whole and state management became many times easier over the years (been working with it, vue and a bit of angular for 6+ years now).

Function components removed stuff like getDerivedStateFromProps and many other things, introduced clear and simple way of component updating (as in "prop reference changed, I'm gonna render now").

For state we got redux toolkit, which simplified reducers, zustand and recoil/jotai and mobx which allow you to pick based on your needs instead of writing million reducers or passing state to children when you don't really need it.

Its not "react got hard", its people unable to adapt to changing world. Every mainstream framework in reality got streamlined, simpler and more effecient to create apps.

I have a bad feeling that this will break modded beat saber on quest once again :/

> Nothing comes close to it in Go, Ruby, JS (Node), Python; from what I've seen. Laravel is one step ahead.

I can't really agree with that when Express and Django exists in this world. But Laravel is indeed amazing piece of software

quite enterteining that majority of "I don't like X" articles are coming from people who can't use the tool because they're lazy to understand basics

I could say that its interesting, but its instead region restricted (for android at least) and now available in Europe.

another month, another post complaining about react and claiming that its slow and hard... But its not hard, at all. Learning core react functinoality (which will let you make complex apps on its own) takes 2-3 hours (if you're a slow reader), and performance is fine. 99% of the time its not the tool, its the app's code being slow, and when its slow, its easy to fix most of the time
