>>React is legacy technology

Thanks, I’ve been thinking about ditching react in favor of Svelte for a long time now, and this post cites enough reasons to justify it

  • I started with Svelte but ecosystem that React has is giant. Plus React Compiler is already being used in Instagram and Facebook so within this year, the virtual dom diffing would be a thing of past.

    • The virtual dom is just part of the performance problem, the biggest problem in my opinion is the huge complexity that React adds, they solved part of it with useReducer and useSyncExternalStore, but I don’t think it will eventually be solved.
