What's React?

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 25 points 1 year ago

React is what powers your Windows Start Menu.

[-] camr_on@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Wtf is that real

[-] Schmoo@startrek.website 16 points 1 year ago

Yes, as well as parts of the settings menu. What's not to love about constantly loading and unloading javascript just by clicking around in native apps? CPU spikes are good for your health.

Fucking Christ. Glad I left windows behind.

@Schmoo @camr_on

Well hey at least React is known to be really secure with sensible package management.

Oh wait I spelled Rust wrong.

React is a Javascript based web development programming language developed by Facebook to make pages run faster and better. I learned it as part of a MERN stack full web development course.

to make pages run faster and better.

Huh, well that's a funny way of saying "break the model of web page as document and fuck up the entire web!"

[-] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Yeah because documents are limiting and we want to do stuff that executables can do but with a better distribution model.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Shoulda been something more like Java Web Start.

[-] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe. But performance, availability, and security killed a number of viable options. Flash was always more ubiquitous than Java on the web but it eventually died too.

Flash was also cancer that ruined web pages.

The reason Java Web Start wasn't, was specifically because once you clicked on the link, it downloaded the app and started it as a real desktop application, with its own window and taskbar entry and whatnot. It didn't rely on being embedded in HTML (I'm specifically not talking about Java applets, BTW -- they sucked too) or manipulating the DOM for its UI; it could use Swing and have the same look and feel as a native application.

Oh stop it. Are you saying you don't enjoy pressing the "Back" button in your browser, but staying on the same page. Therefore breaking the page so you refresh and lose whatever the fuck you were doing? /s
