Competent vs Incompetent Ruby Devs When Encountering React

Incompetent Ruby devs when encountering React:

- This language is used by Facebook, so it must be great (regardless of the fact that Facebook always suffers from tons of bugs and is an unethical company that has spied on its own users)!

- React is used by many rich large companies, so it must be a very good technology (regardless of the fact that often, rich large companies are unagile, unethical, and can afford bad technologies and bad practices).

- I met "very cool devs" at a tech event who told me they use React, so the technology must be "cool"!!!

- React gives me "joy" (regardless of customers losing joy with its use) by making me look so "clever" whenever I successfully write very complicated code using React (meaning React is overcomplicated).

- React is very popular, so it can't be a bad technology!

- React's creator sounds like a very smart man, so I can safely follow him (blindly without questioning or thinking for oneself). 

- React is very fast, so it must be the best technology out there (regardless of how unmaintainable/unproductive its code is and how React's premature optimization isn't even useful at all for 99% of business use cases)

Competent Ruby devs when encountering React:

- React runs in JavaScript, a confusing programming language that is inferior to languages like Ruby and Python.

- React is regressing to older styles of programming from the 70's with functional programming, so it is very outdated with JS lipstick on a pig.

- React mixes multiple languages in the same file in JSX files, causing cognitive dissonance that creates mental friction, which slows down productivity.

- Hooks and Effects drop down thinking to lower levels of thinking that distance developers from the business domain and customer concerns, losing them half the battle from the get go.

- React's premature optimization is unnecessary in 99%+ of our business use cases, complicating development with inferior paradigms while being useless/hurtful of satisfying customer needs.

- React's maintainability is so terrible, it kills productivity and hurts teamwork and collaboration very badly (making devs deliver in double the time or longer and with double the cost or more).

- React's style of programming encourages the anti-pattern of devs writing "clever code" instead of code that is readable/maintainable by others without an unnecessary learning curve.

- Ruby provides infinitely simpler ways of Frontend Development than React's, like via the Fukuoka-award-winning Glimmer DSL for Web, which runs on the Opal JavaScript-to-Ruby transpiler. Code doesn't lie. Frontend Ruby is much simpler and more readable than Frontend JavaScript. The matter isn't really open for debate.
