    I know, I was just questioning myself about the "Facebook might shut that down too".

    I'd rather be phishing!

        ??? :confused: (edit) Is Facebook closing the development of ReactJS or you just don't like using a library from Facebook ?

          Well if you are learning a new JS framework, you've got to consider that it will be obsolete and replaced in 2-3 years time.

                Sure, but that goes with any JS framework. So pick your poison, all of them will kill you.

                  yeah, it's why it's so hard to write a book on using a JS library - by the time you get to chapter 5, none of your chapter 1 examples work any more :-D

                    I just started really learning React, coming from Ember. I'm curious to know. Performance wise, everyone copied the virtual DOM idea so it's no longer exclusive to react. There's now Ember Glimmer which is just as fast. And of course Angular 2 is in beta now, which is supposed to also use a virtual DOM as well. Whatever the case, I'd be willing to bet React will be around for a while. Or I hope so since I'm about to start using it. :~

                        Are we not getting annoyed with this by now. Can we not fins a standard and stick with it. I know we can't but it would be nice

                          The only reason I knew about ReactJS was because I searched on alternatives to AngularJS, after they decided to make a new and not so compatible Angular that required me rewriting a large AngularJS application that was designed to be a template for projects going forward. I also wrote companions to that project in Android and Objective-C and now find myself rewriting the Objective-C app in Swift, not only doing code conversion, but learning incompatible replacements for classes that were recently deprecated. At least Android hasn't changed, although the Oracle lawsuit might change that. One can't depend on anything anymore.

                            If you want to program against an stable and never changing platform, learn COBOL and move to z/OS. Since most COBOL programmers are retired or retiring soon, you might find there a job that will keep you well fed until YOU retire. Even if you are 20 now. SCNR :)

                              Been doing Ember for 3 years. Recently left that project. Employer was stuck on v1.6.1 as "upgrading" had so many changes it just wasn't worth it. Front-end will now require a complete rewrite using the mentioned JS framework poison-picking scheme.
