Fascinating comment from Christopher Chedeau of React: "The end game isn’t ReactNative. We want the web to win. Would be great for Angular to try to implement on top of our same primitives to see if we could share the work."<p>It's as if ReactNative is being treated (strategically) as a more powerful version of PhoneGap.
> There are a lot of JS tools, but none of them do what we want. We’re trying to coordinate them. We want to provide a good default experience out of the box, so we’re building a CLI to: scaffold, skeleton files, set up build, set up testing environment, possibly even deployment<p>Was there something wrong with the yeoman & grunt/gulp combo? The yeoman tool is great for the scaffolding and skeleton story, and even for setting up your build, test, deployment environments using whatever combination of grunt & gulp you want to build into your generator.<p>I'm starting to get weary of this constant need to reinvent the incredible tools that we have already instead of iterating and improving them.
THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE.<p>I love that they're talking with the Ember guys too, as their approach to a CLI seems to be one of reusing other people's work and just wrapping it. There have been too many cases of wheel reinvention, and I'm particularly glad to see that no-one's talking about yet another package manager.<p>> so folks can declare dependencies like for JSX transpilation<p>This is an interesting one. It'd certainly solve a lot of the toolchain headache for front-end development.<p>It's good to see discussion on animation as it seems to have been a long-term headache for React, at least.<p>I'm not 100% convinced by the Web Worker talk - I think the complexity could mean it's not worthwhile. But it's good to see people unifying their thoughts in order to test it once and for all.<p>All in all, great stuff. It'd be interesting to see if this could be regularised into some kind of "steering group" for the front-end...
These guys should take a look at how XAML is implemented. I feel like they're trying to solve tons of problems that Microsoft already did 10 years ago.
ReAngular was an April Fools' joke just 10 days ago: <a href="http://moduscreate.com/reangular-angular-react-merger/" rel="nofollow">http://moduscreate.com/reangular-angular-react-merger/</a>
<i>fingers crossed</i><p>I am so happy to see how much effort and consideration that everyone is putting in towards React and Angular as a Modern Web App Framework standard*<p>* - Standard for Client Side Web Frameworks
