Is x/react still good for new production? #184

Open stevegt opened 1 year ago

Hi Paul,

Would you recommend using x/react for new production projects? What are you using yourself these days?

I'm a Go developer about to start a significant, long-running project for production use by an open-source community, went looking for "react gopherjs", found your video from the 2017 Golang UK Conference, and came here. I'm also looking at other alternatives, such as using WASM instead of Gopherjs. Looking at the dates on commit logs here, I have to wonder if you're also using other tooling now, or are the bits in this repo just stable and doing their job well enough for you? (I have a few projects that I haven't touched in over a decade but that are still in production use, so I completely understand either way.)

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks for asking, @stevegt. As you will see, I haven't maintained the project for a long time. It was absolutely a passion project at the time, and I particularly enjoyed trying to help get GopherJS into working shape. My involvement with that project faltered somewhat, and that ultimately led to there not being enough time to work on this project.

That said, I really like the React-style pattern for writing frontends, especially in combination with immutable data structures.

So my suggestion would be to use this at your own risk, fork and do what you like with it :)
