| > JavaScript people have programming ADHD. Why do you feel the need to categorize people based on the programming language that they used to write some code? I prefer "JavaScript people" to needlessly condescending people any day of the week. > "This system works fine, but we've been using it for too long, let's just rewrite it with the latest greatest" This is an uncharitable, unhelpful and totally unnecessary dismissal of this project. The author clearly explains the reasoning behind this project and even charts out each individual distinction. This isn't new for new's sake; features like CSS Modules and code splitting are real features that have real productivity impacts. Perhaps you don't think these features are useful or maybe you prefer a different technique for solving these problems, but either way nobody is forcing you to use it. > Imagine is Microsoft released a totally new version of C# every year, and stops supporting it. Except this is a completely inapt analogy. This is one individual who put together a package to solve their own problems and open sourced the code FOR FREE. If the endless supply of JavaScript tooling is a problem for you, that's your problem, you're not obligated to use or even evaluate every project that hits the front page of HN and if you're not a JavaScript programmer then I don't see why you even care. Quit bitching about people building things you don't like. |
