It looks like configuration management for devops. If I have an app and want it run in 3 different environments that each have rapidly changing configs, I might use this. But I won't b/c Facebook.
Devops scripts are definitely a good use case, but so is machine learning research, which requires a lot of flexibility.
The origins of the framework is in ML, not devops.
All, too, well aware. After Facebook bought Instagram was the last time I saw Kevin and Mikey (IG's co-founders). You're right to point this out, but I'm very ambivalent: a tool that I value from a company that does reprehensible things.
>"But I won't b/c Facebook." Do I understand correctly that you also personally boycott React?
I do. Is that surprising, though? Given the variety of tools/frameworks to build interactive web stuff, there isn't a single thing React offers that cannot be found elsewhere.
Inferiority to what? I hate Facebook as much as the next self respecting Netizen, but I still use React at work because it's just the best tool for the job. I'd be happy to hear some arguments to the contrary.
