Re:React is becoming a black box by nikkwong on Thursday September 03, 2020 @02:31PM (#24367159)
I noticed at the end of the blog post you stated that you're very excited about the debut of the upcoming Concurrent Mode (CM) in React. I've read about the problem that Concurrent Mode is working to address; but I'm confused as to why React needs this additional feature set when I'm unaware of any other UI frameworks which have a feature set that seem to mirror that of CM. Vue or Svelte do not seem to need these additional features to achieve comparative rendering benchmark speeds to React, and I'm unaware of any holes in these frameworks that something like CM would adequately address. (?).

Is Concurrent Mode basically a way of addressing performance problems in React, or is this in some way a feature that adds something novel? Or is it just a side effect of an unwillingness to move away from functional programming?

I write React at work, but write Svelte or Vue at home, and I've always found React's abstractions to be the most hard to reason about, and from the looks of it CM will make this more challenging (??). Thanks.
