Cheng Lou - On the Spectrum of Abstraction at react-europe 2016
ReactEurope
Cheng Lou's react-europe 2016 talk lays out a mental framework for thinking about abstraction levels in JavaScript tooling, from Angular and Grunt to Webpack and React. It uses that framework to reason about the cost of abstractions and how to choose between competing solutions.
HN points to it as thought-provoking material on the tradeoffs and costs of abstraction, especially in frontend tooling debates.
