That would be a great argument, except I didn't start out with the intention of assassinating anyone's character. The above thread is literally the 3rd search result for "Karax state management". You know, a very reasonable search query when someone's trying to determine whether a frontend framework is ready for production use. This does not bode well.

> Well, offer up your language of choice, and I'm sure we could work together to find some online comments to assassinate the creators' character.

Yeah, okay, let's play that game: you asked for it. Let's try to search for "Reagent state management", also the foremost frontend framework for a relatively obscure language (Clojurescript). I guarantee you will not find Rich Hickey making an ass of himself on the first page of results. I'm fairly certain you won't find it in the results at all, because he is more mature than that.

Let's try again for Scala.js: "Slinky state management". Again, no sign of Martin Odersky acting like an immature jackass anywhere in the search results.

Words matter. First impressions matter. If you don't realize that I'm afraid you are in need of growing up yourself.




I'm on mobile, but I'm certain Odersky was brutalized for "Pimp my library" or Pimp my Classes or something like that some years back.

I can appreciate your perspective a little more from your clarifying it. I stand by my original point that this is something NOT to be handled in public.

You're certainly right that it'd be hard to find Rich Hickey making an ass out of himself. I can't see myself arguing that anyhow. I guess I don't really think Araq made an ass out of himself in making that comment, especially with the context of the conversation. I think there is a lot of pretentious attitudes in front-end circles, and it's certainly very irritating to listen to people talk so highly of these things as if they are pristine towers of brilliance when it's JUST a webpage.


Fair point, although yourself gave me the wrong impression initially. karax doesn't support stateful components indeed.


You can certainly get stateful components with Karax. Perhaps I am missing something but Karax itself doesn't need any special support for them.

In the code for NimForum I've laid out each component as a stateful component, one example is the `threadlist` module: https://github.com/nim-lang/nimforum/blob/master/src/fronten.... You can see the `State` type defined there and all components follow this convention.
