The harmful anti-Web Components rhetoric from JavaScript framework authors is out of control. I almost prefer the React team’s tact of largely ignoring Web Components over this current environment of framework authors saying they “hate web components” ...

@DavidDarnes always.

@zachleat ah fuck is there more?

[litherum@masto.ai]

@zachleat where can I read the rhetoric? I’m curious how someone could draw that conclusion

[simonrjones@mastodon.social]

@zachleat @Meyerweb is there a good place that summarises these arguments for someone who is not that familiar with JS frameworks?

I’ve started experimenting with web components and they just seem great for progressive enhancement. I don’t really understand the current criticism.

@tychi @Meyerweb I would not be surprised to find some overlap there!

@deebloo evergreen

@litherum https://dev.to/ryansolid/web-components-are-not-the-future-48bh was the latest iteration

[deebloo@indieweb.social]

@zachleat at this point I've stopped caring. I saw some tweets asking why anyone cares about WordPress since we all use react anyway...

@simonrjones hmm—from someone outside of the JavaScript bubble? I’m not sure! I bet https://shoptalkshow.com/ will cover it at some point!

@deebloo ahaha don’t m-@ me on those
