Gentle reminder: Linux Foundation is a corporate lobbying group, not a part of the FOSS community
Oh fun
I mean... Are they a bad lobbying group?
Linux foundation has the most expensive training courses for Linux. They are not even the best.
But since their name is associated with Linux, their courses became the standard.
At the end of the day, they became a shitty training organization that is over charging everyone and everything.
I don't expect anything good coming from them.
gross. react is a scourge and should never have been created.
Um. Do you have something against declarative programming?
just like typescript?
never seen a TS or React project that wasn't a flaming pile of shit, and I've seen numerous piles of shit in my career (wrote a couple even).
That'll be good, I think? 🤔
React is not a full framework
Are they referring here specifically to MVC/MV* frameworks, where React alone offers just the View, or are they referring to a more general notion of what constitutes a “full framework” that I’ve forgotten?
Meta will contribute React, React Native, and JSX (JavaScript XML) to a new React Foundation, part of the Linux Foundation, and said that "it is important that no single company or organization is overrepresented."
The React Foundation will start with seven corporate members – Amazon, Callstack, Expo, Meta, Microsoft, Software Mansion, and Vercel – and its responsibilities will include maintaining React's infrastructure and trademarks, organizing React Conf, and sponsoring the React ecosystem. The first executive director will be Seth Webster, Meta's head of React.
React, created by Facebook in 2013, is the most popular JavaScript framework. (Facebook changed its name to Meta in 2021.) The most recent State of JavaScript survey reported usage by over 80 percent of respondents. React Native is a cross-platform UI framework based on React, and while it's not as dominant as web React, Microsoft is a particularly big user. Usage of React is also likely being boosted by increasing deployment of AI coding tools, which in our experience tend to default to React if not prompted to use a different framework.
Since Linux Foundation is a 501c6 corporate-controlled steering group, this is a non-story. Nothing meaningful will change.
Years ago, I instinctively chose vuejs and nuxtjs, to learn for a project, because they werent react and related to zuckbook. This may change with the new direction. Maybe after a year to see the direction it takes.
With executive director still being a zuckling, it isn't much different than what it was, is it?
