Yes - that did clarify it for me. Looking forward to some more detail. :-)

No article - 'just' a faster site? :-)

Well for one you won't need to specify the modules you need with more than the require('somemodule') statements in your code.

And it can grab modules/components/files directly from github which can be a plus if you have some private modules you use.

This looks interesting - but I can't quite figure out: is this meant to replace build systems (gulp, grunt, broccoli, etc) as well?

Well I think I can explain point 3 regarding rerendering the whole view.

No matter how efficient React is, the bigger your React view is, the more virtual DOM will have to be rerendered. In essence, if you have a god-like monolistic view containing everything in your app, it might not be performant to just let react rerender the whole virtual DOM when the data changes.

Honestly though, I believe React is pretty good at knowing what to rerender, and incredibly fast at it - so it's not really much of an issue for most people.

Don't get me wrong - I am not agreeing with him politically.

But this is silly.

If they thought his political views would interfere with his work as CEO, they would not have chosen him in the first place. So why suddenly turn around - because the media got to them?

I really don't like when populism wins over rational thought.

This is like the BEST task runner ever! Simple, easy, code before configuration - what's not to love :-P
