@zachleat You can find the source here https://medium.com/@ji/react-was-invented-by-jordan-walke-who-was-working-on-facebook-ads-at-the-time-db5fdd21f5a4
They were having problems keeping things straight (you have to do this with ads code), and React's model is coherent even if I agree with some of the performance criticisms.
I think you're missing a simple point, which is that pushing computation to the client will encounter variable client CPUs, and some of them are not good. You can keep things more uniform by doing things on servers you control, but that might cost more money.

@sayrer whew, I don’t think it’s worth defending client rendering as a framework default at this point (are you doing that?) 😅
