- bluestill friggin ridiculous
- phalethrust is prolly gonna add those 8 MBs back and more on top
- dreamrealI wouldn't say it was nothing
- bluedreamreal: every other day a moron comes around and tries to replace javascript with something 'better'
- bluewe really need to stop reinventing the wheel all the time
- blueif I had a good solution to reactivity and slotting I'd probably ditch svelte
- bluethat's what phaleth is essentially doing with primate website
- bluethe baggage is real and it's super heavy
- dreamrealblue: it's not just JS
- dreamreal"I know, I'll build something better so nobody has to think no more! It'll be goodlier than whatever else we've ever done even though it's very much the same strategy, just different fringes!"
- blue`Before, one would just choose between Spring Boot, Django, or Rails and have everything handled and managed. Now, I had to first pick each library, then make React, Redux, Webpack, Express, Passport, and Sequelize work together.`
- bluedreamreal: someone needs to tell this guy about primate
- blueseriously
- bluebecause this is a solved problem, and primate shows that
- dreamrealblue: Gee, I wonder why I pointed out the URL... in #primate
- dreamrealWe may never know.
- blueI'm tempted to write this guy and ask him why he didn't do his market research properly.. ok, primate didn't exist in 2021
- dreamrealThat'd be the wrong way to look at it, though
- dreamrealYou'd be better off saying "What if you did it like this, I'm doing it like so and here's why"

- phalethfunctional programmers
- phalethin some circles these people are called scammers
- phaleththat looks like a total ripoff
- bot<discord:blue> If I find this guy's email I'll write him
- bot<discord:blue> Maybe he's eager to invest in something that actually works and isn't snake oil
- bluedreamreal: I sent the dude an email, thanks for the drop
