As a consultant, I learn a lot about bleeding-edge technology, including the latest web frameworks like Angular 1/2, React, and others. My original thought was to use Angular 2/TypeScript for the basis for FyreVM-Web, but I’ve changed my mind.
Angular 2 is great, but it really is meant for “enterprise” development, not one-page story games. On the other hand, React is perfect for one-page story games. It’s just a layout engine without all the controller, service, and dependency injection technology that would be overkill for most IF authors.
React is still a level-up from plain HTML development, but most templates would probably be implemented by someone that knows HTML/CSS anyway. I think this is a reasonable compromise. The one feature I absolutely want, that Angular 1/2 and React offer, is data-bound templates. This just allows FyreVM-Web to set data to a JavaScript object that’s connected to the HTML template. React is perfect for that type of work.
