an argument I buy is that good design > bad design with types
React generated a lot more value for both devs and end users than "Angular with types"
and, also,
React internals are typed now
framing the debate otherwise misses the point
Electric's internals would be better typed, if only there were such a language that could do that while also delivering the other operational characteristics that Clojure delivers that we require
another example
the fact that Datomic EntityMaps may or may not perform IO when entries are accessed is hugely problematic and has resulted in the entity API being all but deprecated, and this has been privately acknowledged (off the record) by at least one Datomic team member
all code written against EntityMap is broken above a certain scale threshold
