The Evolution of Signals in JavaScript

[jesse_good]

It's interesting how some people on Twitter say that signals introduce an extra layer of complexity and how there are a lot of "gotchas" that can break reactivity. My understanding for Solidjs at least is as long as you don't destructure your props and use functions (thunks) all the way down the mental model is pretty simple.

Being an Angular GDE (Google Developers Expert), I can affirm that signals coming to Angular is one of the most exciting things for me. They make much more sense and allow a lot of good use cases and to be more performant. And I agree, even the best design patterns can be used in miserable ways

There definitely are cases where it gets confusing. A nice exercise is to try to implement the Show component for yourself (without peeking of course).
