THERE IS A FUCKING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "React.component" and "React.Component"! Took me fucking 2 hours to figure this fucking thing out. Until then I was certain that this was some dependency issue. Oh the rage right now!! 🔫🔪💣💣😡

What the fuck, seriously?

@PoweredByCoffee sadly, yes.

@Letmecode not saying 'fuck why does it even matter' but more like 'I fucking lost so much time because WebStorm decided to put the wrong object on tab press'.

@varundey @Letmecode and also I went full retard because of course I couldn't find the bug even after reading up the whole code 50th time

TypeScript would have saved you there! Try it, the more users it has the better it becomes.

@solocoder can't use a third party library in the company's code right away. Will try using it in some of my personal project. Thanks for the info though 👍

why people ever made case sensitiveness? I mean when you have ClassSomething you never make classSomething unless of course you're running nuts.

I could be much better if one couldn't do that and cause harm like this.

👏👏👏 Well rant done! Take my ++

I like case-sensitive but what idiot defines upper and lower case versions

es6 please

Fuck React, fuck Angular, fuck Handlebars, fuck Knockout, fuck Backbone! Fuck all of them! These frameworks are nothing more than a good concept that haven't been fully developed, full of short-sights, gallows everywhere for you to hang yourself and team upon! Why must we continue this madness? Just because some big tech company has a shiny new library doesn't mean it's any good or even worth looking at.

@blackmarket ahem. I don't think you have noticed the new way of writing UI which was started by Elm and then React+Redux followed. You should really check them out before making blanket statements.

@rayanon I am well aware of Elm and just about every other gaddamn hipster attempt at a front-end framework. You pick Elm or anything else you like and build something that isn't a fucking toy. Then I want you to come back and with a straight face tell me, "This is not madness". Only then will I concede on this matter.

@rayanon To be clear, I am not saying these frameworks don't have a place. There is time when I might reach for several of the formentioned frameworks. I'm just sick of everyone jumping on the train because it's popular. That's a terrible way to make decisions. To clarify further, I think react and many of its counterparts are of poor design and implementation.

@blackmarket you mention one should not jump train because something is popular, by the exact same principle one also should not dismiss before trying it out.

I have been part of this fad JS community since 2011 (and unfortunately still is, albeit more distant now). I have coded in vanilla JS, only jquery, Backbone, Meteor etc. I hate the JS language and I hate the JS ecosystem (sorry folks who are a fan of it). But I have been using React+Redux in our production projects since mid 2016. It has reduced development time by atleast 50%. We see significantly less bugs since then. It has a much simpler mental model, doesn't matter how complex your UI becomes. The Redux or the Elm architecture[1] is THE way to code UI. Oh and let me clarify the architecture they propose is NOT new, it is a well known pattern. Only the hipster JS ecosystem is finding about it now and going gaga over it. So to me it seems you haven't really tried it out.

Why not ES6 in the first place ? 😅

@strider as i mentioned in the previous comment, WebStorm decided to put the wrong object and I couldn't notice the difference for a long long time. We are already using es6

Ah okay, sorry didnt see the comment
