Comment on Skit: A pure JavaScript front end for building better web clients

Comments

Two years ago I would've been excited but now I've developed a filter for anything with javascript and front end or framework in the same sentence if they are not backed by a major corporation, simply based on the reason that there have been so much abandonware in this landscape, I think even for Google it's been tough sell. I think that React is the way to do it but slow to adopt it especially because I'm so comfortable with jQuery and never had the need to invent new ways of doing things.

I wrote a post about how ridiculous it was to write another javascript library (about skit): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9342133

But jQuery is not backed by a major corporation. And GWT was backed by a major corporation, but it doesn't seem to be doing too well.

I don't think being backed by a major corporation means much.
