Hacker News with Generative AI: React

A steam locomotive from 1993 broke my yarn test (cloudflare.com)

We replaced our React front end with Go and WebAssembly (dagger.io)
A few weeks ago, we launched Dagger Cloud v3, a completely new user interface for Dagger Cloud. One of the main differences between v3 and its v2 predecessor is that the new UI is written in WebAssembly (WASM) using Go. At first glance, this might seem an odd choice - Go typically isn't the first language you think of when deciding to program a Web UI - but we had good reasons.

React's declarative model isn't perfect (bennett.ink)
The creator of Next made an interesting Tweet about React becoming the Linux kernel of front end development. I’ll go a step further: I think it’s becoming a ubiquitous interface for UI development generally. I bet a lot on React: I use it for every UI endeavor I work on — video games, B2B, mobile apps, and websites of every shape and size.
