Somehow, we’re still failing to realize that the most complex UIs - think CAD software, 3D editors, etc - are imperative, object-oriented, and written in C++. Their core development teams are usually very small. Yet you need a 20-person frontend team to deliver a primitive e-commerce app. It’s as clear as day that the promise of declarative and reactive programming is failing its users.
