Good to see compatible implementations. Over time, we'll have something React-like as part of the web standards.

Hell no. High-level APIs should remain in user space, they are too often optimized for short term thinking, prone to breakage, and inefficient.

Most of the current DOM specification has been around since 1998-2000, and the spec hasn't made a single breaking change. Standards committees have an obligation to not break the foundations of the web, framework authors can do whatever.

Fair enough and very true! I suppose web-components are 'react like' in a way though so maybe it's already happening.

It's the word "largely" in "largely React-compatible API" that scares me.
