Any open source is good open source, meta has contributed react and pytorch to the world. They should be applauded for their contributions to software. They have done far more than any other big tech company.
I was with you until the last sentence. Google has given us Android, Kubernetes, Golang, Tensorflow (not to mention Angular and Chromium)
> Kubernetes
Which they never apologized for!
Oh yeah, thanks for the 21st century BASIC, Google.
I honestly don't see how react made the world better by abstracting even more of the beautiful html and CSS Logik to messy dependency heavy JavaScript.
Apple did LLVM and WebKit, which seem far more important than React and PyTorch.
WebKit was more or less ‘stolen’ from KDE’s KHTML and KJS. They forked it, developed it in secret, and did not publish anything until it diverged so far from source that it could not be merged back in. While technically legal, it definitely goes against the spirit of open source.
LLVM is a better story: also not invented at Apple, but they hired the core developers to continue working on it.
