@tomdale @floydophone case in point ClojureScript persistent data structures allow simpler programs but their implementation is very complex
@floydophone FRP and diffing the results of pure functions are by definition equivalent from a user-facing perspective.

@wycats Yeah, if you have a FRP language w/ certain semantics. JS isn't one. Diffing is a less leaky abstraction on top of JS than others. -
@floydophone JS isn't a pure language either. Either way you need to add constraints. -
@wycats Yeah, but need to consider the cost/benefit of each constraint you add on perf/correctness/API usability. -
@floydophone You aren't doing that. You're just repeating your assumptions as fact. Hard to debate that style on Twitter. -
@floydophone I'd rather let users try both and decide which has a simpler model for whole apps than declare "React is simpler" as truth. -
@wycats@floydophone Okay: I've tried Ember, Angular, and React, and React is by far the simplest. I have no interest in going back. -
@rtfeldman@floydophone To be frank, ordering those frameworks on an absolute "simplest" -> "most complex" is missing a TON of nuance.
