The author of redux works at Facebook
2 comments

Both Dan Abramov and Andrew Clark (co-creators of Redux) were indeed hired by Facebook to work on the React core.

However, Dan and Andrew haven't actively touched Redux library code since mid-2016. (Dan occasionally drops into an issue to comment, like his suggestion to not ship a `useActions` hook for React-Redux, but that's it.

The _current_ maintainers (Tim Dorr and myself) do not work for Facebook, and Redux has never been a Facebook-sponsored project. We're an independent open source project.

We chat with the React team frequently via Github and Twitter and such, but that's just OSS collaboration work.

See https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2018/03/redux-not-dead-yet... for more details.

AFAIK gaeron hasn't touched redux stuff at all for a while, and acemarke/timdorr are not FB employees.

Also same ecosystem story there: redux-saga, redux-form, etc are all low/no budget projects.
