Why should I expect it to be still developed three years from now? It doesn't sound like a very transferrable skill. Facebook is dogfooding React in a way not seen in other libraries in use on the web. Sure, Google uses Angular here and there, but nowhere near to the extent that Facebook uses React -- both on the web and native mobile. > Why not learn functional programming language for functional programming? That's not really the point I was trying to make. JavaScript is already widely adopted on millions of devices. I can deploy functional JavaScript anywhere. > And one has to go way, way out of his way to use this paradigm for real in JavaScript. I mentioned libraries that encourage this paradigm. Including lodash-fp which makes a point of making everything in lodash auto-curried, iteratee-first, and data-last. |
