Wow, what an aggressive way to promote your own little open source app.

I fully agree: of course React gets a lot wrong, being a pioneer and all. The way JS often goes, I bet one of the many alternatives that pop up actually will turn out like something. But attacking it like that isn't going to get you many friends.

Yeah, makes me not want to try it. This guy should let someone else handle the marketing.

Maybe his marketing strategy was to only draw in people who use technology based on the merits of said technology and purposefully alienate the people who need an emotional connection to be convinced?

I can certainly see the merits of trying to gain pragmatic mind share first before the buzzword technology crowd joins in and makes things more complicated.

> Reactive Programming is an Enlightened Path to Programming Utopia Yet to be Grokked By Mere Humans

Is this slide a joke I don't get? The whole presentation seems to focus on terminology and buzzwords more than discussing merits as far as I can tell.

EDIT: The authors commented and I'm going to assume this is an example of missing context.
