What's this dude talking about?! Everyone knows no one hates React like people who code in React 😂 No one is gonna get pissed off watching this.

[-] gabbath@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

Do React devs really hate React?

[-] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 19 points 20 hours ago

Isn’t the adage that you either have haters or no users?

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

I don't, but it can be really annoying when I accidentally fall for a common trap that I supposedly know how to avoid after all these years! Gah.

I love this guy he's a fucking freak of nature

[-] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 11 points 20 hours ago

Umm this is just being retro. Like using a film camera.

[-] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 1 points 14 hours ago

Raw film is objectively higher quality than raw digital. Are you saying that C is objectively higher quality than Rust?

[-] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Excerpt film isn’t objectively better…

[-] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 1 points 12 hours ago

That's what your original comment was eluding to, so I was confirming with you that that's what you meant.

Data visualization ≠ UI and signal processing is traditionally done in C

[-] ulterno@programming.dev 48 points 1 day ago

That looks like buttons in the thumbnail, on the left of the visualisation.
I'd say that's enough to call it UI.

[-] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 23 hours ago

UI. User Interface. The bridge between a system and a user. So anything, literally any information transfer from the user to the system OR from the system to the user, is a User Interface.

Would you agree that the dashboard of a car is UI? If so, isn't that just data visualization?

There used to be a UI library on the Amiga called MUI.

It used a bunch of C macros to let you define the window and all the controls. Was honestly pretty good considering it was like 30 years ago.

[-] Zenoctate@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

There is another called ImGui which is also cool! Written in C++.

[-] gens@programming.dev 9 points 21 hours ago

Unrelated but there is microui, a 1100 loc library in ansi C for a basic UI.

React is a Javascript based web development programming language developed by Facebook to make pages run faster and better. I learned it as part of a MERN stack full web development course.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 22 points 21 hours ago

to make pages run faster and better.

Huh, well that's a funny way of saying "break the model of web page as document and fuck up the entire web!"

[-] RageAgainstTheRich@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

Oh stop it. Are you saying you don't enjoy pressing the "Back" button in your browser, but staying on the same page. Therefore breaking the page so you refresh and lose whatever the fuck you were doing? /s

Yeah because documents are limiting and we want to do stuff that executables can do but with a better distribution model.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Shoulda been something more like Java Web Start.

[-] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

Maybe. But performance, availability, and security killed a number of viable options. Flash was always more ubiquitous than Java on the web but it eventually died too.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Flash was also cancer that ruined web pages.

The reason Java Web Start wasn't, was specifically because once you clicked on the link, it downloaded the app and started it as a real desktop application, with its own window and taskbar entry and whatnot. It didn't rely on being embedded in HTML (I'm specifically not talking about Java applets, BTW -- they sucked too) or manipulating the DOM for its UI; it could use Swing and have the same look and feel as a native application.

Javascript based web development ~~programming language~~ UI library

[-] leftytighty@slrpnk.net 7 points 19 hours ago

On the other hand React Native is a JavaScript based development language developed by Facebook to make applications run slower and worse.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 16 hours ago

Used for rendering UIs on a Document Object Model. JS was a mistake.

I'm an elitist asshole and I hate that people say "react dev" when really it's "web dev that uses react"

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 17 points 22 hours ago

react devs are not web devs. they're special

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 7 points 22 hours ago

Is this distinction really all that useful?

I suppose you could write a react app that doesn’t use “the web”? But you still might just say they are a react developer.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

I think the web part refers to web technologies.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 17 hours ago

Yeah I guess I’m old. Seems like everything is called “web dev” these days.

I was answering a question somewhere related to something like C/C++ and Operating System level stuff. Someone replied asking where I learned “web dev.” I would consider that general programming, or possibly systems programming, but certainly not “web dev.”

[-] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 17 hours ago

There are also react devs creating the windows 11 start menu.
