This has been around since the start of 2013, I think Twitter are actually moving away from it. Reddit discussion from yesterday: https://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/39qu3p/flightjs...

Jesus... 2013, already tossed to the side.

Please, no. Stop the JS framework insanity. There is zero room for this, it will benefit nobody, and just add static to already successful frameworks. If you disagree, just ask yourself whens the last time anybody said, "I think we need more variety in JS frameworks".

There isn't even an explanation on why they built this or released it, only that, "oh hey guys it's event driven". ASP.NET did this over a decade ago Twitter, but thanks for coming out.

It's funny. If you transplant ziles88's comment to when Flight was released two years ago, it would be just as appropriate as it is today.

The JS framework landscape is insane (has been for at least 2 years).

Well said. This should be a blog post.

Move over React and Angular, here's Flight? Learning another javascript web framework? I wasn't comfortable using Angular at a couple of projects for customers, before I was thrown into a React project where we've benn struggling with Flux. That being said, the more frameworks you learn, the easier it gets to learn new ones.

Prefer using Flight with Handlebars and Baobab, plain/maintainable and simple.

Keep React/Angular aside.....

1. Post an old javascript framework to HN without mentioning when it was released

2. Watch the HN crowd have a collective heart attack
