Yeah, in the GraphQL lectures the FB presenters basically said. [1] Watch the first ten minutes if nothing else.

React = the view layer.

GraphQL = the store.

Relay = the glue.

I'm still ambivalent on this form of stack but it's a move in the right direction. Component composition makes JS a lot less messy. Meteor is doing something real interesting with isomorphic JS, and whether or not it gets widespread adoption, I'm happy that avenue is being explored as well. Stefan Richter is doing some REAL interesting work with isomorphic Clojure [2] in his shop in Germany, that has some real interesting exercises. The talk is from 2010, so it was more novel when I first watched it than you'd think of today.
