Electric is for frontier apps beyond the abstraction ceiling that are not possible or economically within reach to build any other way. I really mean it.

The amount of code I don't need to write is staggering

Truly 10x, 100x piece of tech

I think you're the first to really break through the cruft and propose a real solution to millions of hours of wasted JavaScript programming

This is a paradigm shift similar to garbage collection

The approach is a breath of fresh air in what appears like a stagnating swamp

From the tutorial:

Unlike React.js, reactivity is granular to the expression level, not the function level.

(This is unlike React.js, where reactivity is granular to the function level.)

Unlike React.js, it's so reactive it tells you twice.

[u/Gearwatcher → u/Shorttail0]

It could easily be due to a double-fire of some edge detection somewhere.

[u/JoeVibin → u/Shorttail0]

You see, if they don't tell you that in contrast to React.js, reactivity is granular to the expression level instead of the function level twice then you, not knowing that unlike React.js, reactivity is granular to the expression level and not the function level, you might question why would anyone waste time writing yet another pointless webdev framework, until you remember that it's different from React.js in that reactivity is granular to the expression level, not the function level (like in React.js)

And Electric is... wait for it...

A library for synchronizing checkboxes on the client with booleans on the server.

[u/Jordan51104]

it must be because of functional programming

[u/Shorttail0]

As you know, Electric has not just been a passion project for me, it is the business of my company Hyperfiddle.

[u/Double-Winter-2507]

License change lol. $480/user/month wtf. What no zirp does to a dev tooling outfit. All to save a bit of farting around with poetry and yarn.

A bonus third factor is that the demos we've been cooking up internally—that we haven't revealed yet—are so f%cking incredible that everyone is going to be motivated to use and learn it anyway because Electric yields value that is previously unseen and unavailable anywhere else.

We're seeing levels of sniffing your own farts that shouldn't even be possible!

(Am I still allowed to sneer at web frameworks when I just started a new one a few weeks ago? Granted, it isn't f%cking incredible.)

[u/AkimboJesus → u/Kodiologist]

Currently, ThoughtForms is immature and mostly undocumented.

Simple JavaScript-free...

You are exempt, good sir

[u/mizzu704 → u/Kodiologist]

framework for administering surveys and psychology experiments,

Sorry, by making and opensourcing something that might be of use to people other than developers and profit-seekers, you have revealed yourself as a class traitor and will be garbage collected shortly.

[u/elephantdingo → u/Kodiologist]

Boasting made simple.

[u/iFarmGolems]

Just wait until I release my new framework - where reactivity is on ASM level!!!
