Echo JS 0.11.0

This article gets the whole point wrong. For a simple task you use simple tools, for a very large and complex task you use tools built for that scale. Vanilla JS would be the simple tool he should use to create an email button.

It seems like the lesson here is to not use React for everything, which I don't think anyone is claiming is the thing to do. jQuery lived at very interesting point in web development where it very simply solved a lot of simple JavaScript problems. No other library or framework is attempting to do that, as far as I know. Once a developer moves to a new framework it's because jQuery is no longer the most effective tool to use.

I could tell who wrote this based on the title.

Did he waste too much of your time?

I get the point of react != reactive. That's been beaten to death and is mostly the result of a name more than a purpose.

Off topic: I read comments every once in a while that allude to grunt being dead. Why? I still use it and love it.

I did not see that coming.

They sure do

The framework discussion and battle is a very interesting one. All of these frameworks approach the same problems differently, and at different times, resulting in performance and api improvements in one place or another. 

What if we were to build a library of patterns instead of full frameworks? They would be complex and multi-step, for sure, but we could all bake them into whatever api or performance priority we had for an individual project.

Really clever!

Great benchmarks! Very interesting to compare all of these together.

Coming from Rising Stack I thought this would be a comment on how Google engineers see node, however this was more interesting. Thanks for the look into the SEO process.
