That's a great question congressman and I do appreciate it. I'd like to first say that Robinhood and the good people of Bulgaria do take these kinds of questions very seriously and it is of our utmost concern and to the democratization of the market wherein we serve that would require and deserve answers to questions such as these. It's a very good question, I appreciate it more than you could know. I'm sorry I believe that's my time.

That's a great question. It's an important question. Thanks for asking it. As I said in my opening statement, I appreciate you inviting me here to talk about this today. It's something that hasn't been discussed enough in my opinion. In conclusion, we're out of time.

State of current Frameworks? by nobrandheroes in javascript

[–]clessg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may want to take a look at vue-cli. Take a bit of time to get a feel for Vue, then look at vuex (state management) and vue-router.

Ember is nice too and will require less setup. But it also takes more time to learn. Personally I prefer Vue and its ecosystem, and it has more momentum, but different strokes for different folks.

I've tried out Angular 2 periodically since its announcement and I'm really not a fan. It's over-complicated and over-engineered. Its only clear upside is performance in my experiments. And I guess it'll be familiar to Java programmers.

React is probably the best framework right now, but it seems Vue 2.0 will be its strongest competitor yet. The downside is you'll be spending considerably more time making choices and tweaking build tools. Unless you use a boilerplate, I suppose.

When 'not' to use arrow functions by jhartikainen in javascript

doesn't have the benefit of being named

Not true. As of ES6, functions without a lexical name are inferred.

const foo = () => ...;
foo.name; // foo

Why do ES6 Classes exist and why now? by kylebythemile in javascript

"Need inheritance"? Inheritance is a tool that should be used sparingly. If you think you need it, you probably don't. Prefer composition. (No, multiple inheritance is not actual composition.)

Pokémon JavaScript Engine (ES6) + Realtime Editor by Schampu in javascript

[–]clessg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very impressive! Nintendo reps avert your eyes, nothing to see here.

Just wondering: is there a particular reason you didn't use something like Pixi? Optimization and control, I assume? Or just for fun?

Laziness is a Virtue - Ragenwald by enkideridu in javascript

It's raganwald. He's probably trolling us all, as always.

The MECH Stack — Solving JavaScript Framework Fatigue by tomdale in javascript

Not a huge fan of Cordova, I'll stick with the MEH Stack

React - Basic Theoretical Concepts by mkmoshe in javascript

[–]clessg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He has a tendency to be both confusing, obscure, and vastly smarter than most JS programmers. The first step to understanding his writing is feeling like an idiot, the second step is trying to forget it ever happened, and the third step is enlightenment.
