tried writing this blog 3 times but it’s really boring, so here’s the short version: React won. Every mainstream f/w now implements its ideas, and developed their own ecosystems. The ones that didn’t, lost and died. This implies there’s no _strong_ reason to not pick one of the other winners.

but what about signals

React should have adopted signals before going nuts on a compiler or RSCs IMO. My 5 year prediction is a solid one… 😜

Without a compiler, and with the virtualized DOM paradigm, I don’t really know that react is in a great position to benefit from signals. Frameworks that use compilers and “templated“ DOM (including JSX usage) will always have an advantage using any reactive primitive for targeted updates
