React is subject to the same boom and bust cycles we've seen in frameworks past. Nothing bad about that, but be prepared.

... people routinely pop into conversations about new language features and say "lisp did this all the way back in 1492" :)

Yeah people do. They forget that context matters and decisions made because "64k is enough for everyone" might be wrong today.
-
Also I took some liberties with 640k.

6.4k? 640 bytes?

LISP created GC? Interesting—didn't know :) But ya, people are already taking React's model for granted, even w/o react, so u have a point

I'm tempted to write a postmortem about the ways react influenced ember over the years. May be better as a talk.

Certainly glimmer architecture is extremely influenced by react and aims to enable the react programming model.
-
I'd like to see a talk about how *several* projects influenced Ember over the years and what changes it went through.
-
I'd love to give that talk. Need to find a venue...

But "functionally unidirectional UI diffing and updating" doesn't quite roll off the tongue as nicely.

I think diffing is more a mechanic than a core idea. Ember calls it "Data Down, Actions Up" (DDAU), which works for us :)
