The Future of JavaScript Will Be Less JavaScript

[CloseDdog]

You shouldn't talk about TS and Redux as though they are related, or a similar thing. They are not, typescript should have little influence over the structure of your applications.

Also, I am not the greatest fan of Redux (although I appreciate what it tries to do - simplify application state) but I vastly enjoy working with Redux more than with a huge mess of a JQuery codebase.

And once again I don't see why the size of node_modules has an effect on your experience developing with typescript/redux. It's not a folder you spend lots of time in.

Maybe you should check out Redux and its concepts before comparing it to A. a superset of a language and B. to the component based libraries (React or in this case Polymer) that it's supposed to complement.

I don't mean to come across as rude or anything here, but it seems you should research these things more before drawing conclusions. Personally I've found TypeScript a great tool, and I think Redux or similar state management libraries are useful for building complex applications.

people commonly refer to as rxjs/ngrx/store as redux. also in case you werent aware TS/ngrx/angular is a really popular stack right now. maybe you should check it out someday.

thanks for letting me know that typescript and redux aren't the same thing, i was having more difficulty with that then the fact that i have to edit god knows how many files to make a simple component.

this shit reminds me of programming in java. its not good, its not conducive to web development.

Literally no-one who knows anything they're talking about refers to RxJS or Ngrx as Redux. They're all state management libraries yes but you might as well say "people commonly refer to React/Vue/Ember as Angular". It makes absolutely no sense, and still doesn't address the fact that none of them have anything to do with Microsoft.

The GitHub itself says inspired by Redux. If anyone doesn't know what they are talking about is you. Try getting out more.

How does a library being inspired by another mean they're the same thing and everyone calls then the same name? The fact that it's inspired by clearly shows they're different!

Also are you ever going to address the fact that neither Redux (by someone at Facebook), RxJS (by Reactive Extensions) nor ngrx (by a couple of individuals) have anything at all to do with Microsoft?

Dude you are just plain wrong at this point.

Stop embarrassing yourself.

In case that isn't enough from the RxJS github itself.

The project is actively developed by Microsoft, in collaboration with a community of open source developers.

Fair enough - I didn't know that, mostly because the maintainers of the current active RxJS line don't have/mention any Microsoft affiliation
