Signals from outer space [ukr]
Why are modern frameworks once again trying to reinvent reactivity — and what do signals have to do with it?
In this talk, we’ll take a look at signals as an attempt to give JavaScript developers fine-grained reactivity tools without extra code, proxies, or memoization. The problem they aim to solve is as old as frontend itself: how to update only what needs updating — and do it predictably.
We’ll explore how this approach works, which frameworks have already adopted it, and what the current TC39 proposal means. Most importantly — do signals actually solve the problem, or are they just introducing a new layer of complexity with different syntax?

- Worked both with ReactJS, AngularJS and Angular, as well as with little-known libraries which names he no longer remembers. Partly because of memory problems. From all of this, he only likes HTML and CSS
