Knockout had it first, Vue was always hiding it, Solid made it popular, and now Svelte and Angular are also integrating it: reactivity based on signals. If all these other frameworks lean on this special primitive, should React follow suit as well?
In this talk, we will examine the less-discussed downsides of signals and explain why I believe React should stick to its current approach of plain values and functions.
This talk has been presented at React Advanced 2024, check out the latest edition of this React Conference.
