React borrowed these concepts from Solid, SvelteKit, and Remix.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s pushing things forward. (And by forward, I mean, yes, also a little backward. We had server-side dominance with php, etc., then frontend-only with Vue/React… Now we finally get to serve our cake and consume it, too.)
I sometimes hear snarky comments about the proliferation of all these frameworks. But here is the tangible benefit of that “competition.” (Really more cooperation than competition)
More like React scrambled to add a feature to check a box in a comparison chart with the upstarts no matter how cumbersome or disruptive the API changes ended up relative to existing codebases.
The new frameworks were poised to eat React's lunch, they knew it, and they needed something quick to hold back the rising tide.
They may succeed, but only due to inertia, not a better/cleaner solution.
