React: Facebook Engineers - Thank You For 2017

Created on 31 Dec 2017  ·  264Comments  ·  Source: facebook/react

To all the Facebook Engineers working on open source,

Like last year, we at Reactiflux just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your hard work in 2017. It’s been another big year! After much anticipation React 16 was released in September, React Native has moved from v0.41 to v0.51 fixing countless bugs and adding new features, Jest has over 20 releases this year, Yarn 1.0 and Relay Modern were released, new engineers have joined (hey @calebmer, @TheSavior, @axemclion) and some have moved on (we’ll miss you @mkonicek), and that is just a tiny snapshot of 2017.

Talking with some of you, I know that the dealing with the licensing issues this year was incredibly difficult and frustrating yet you all handled the situation in such a mature and humble manner all while continuing to iterate and innovate. Thank you! We are so happy that you can continue focusing on the work at hand, especially now that this chapter is finally closed.

Guillermo Rauch recently tweeted, “As 2017 wraps up I believe more than ever that React is such a good idea that we will spend the rest of the decade continuing to explore its implications and applications.” We echo this sentiment and as 2017 wraps up, we also believe more than ever that you all embody the spirit of open source with such humility, servant leadership, and true focus on community driven progress that it continues to astound us. We thank you that these qualities are at the heart of our community. We thank you for all the time you have taken to join AMA’s and answer our questions on Twitter. For all the time you have taken to respond to issues and merge PR’s. Thank you for going above and beyond, again this year… as always.

We’d like to invite the React community to reply to this thread with your own “thank you” comments to the team at Facebook. Let’s show them how grateful we are! Feel free to include experiences with the team or just how the React ecosystem has helped you as a developer.

Sincerely,

On behalf of the Reactiflux community:

As an IT student in France, learning something else than PHP was great ! And it allowed me to grow a little bit more as a dev. I even have my own ideas on what to make with it !

🎉 🎉 🎉

Thank you! You have changed the way I view UI programming and Open Source <3

Thank you 🙏

Thank you very much!

I appreciate the investment FB and its engineers have made in React and the ecosystem. Thank you all who have contributed/maintained projects in the ecosystem! I understand from first hand prior experience that open source can be very difficult/stressful/time consuming, and so I have a deep appreciation for those who have maintained the passion for what they do and keep on the effort.

Thank you guys, I'm new on react but I can tell you that it helps me a lot building new stuff :)

❤️ The React repo and documentation has seen so many great improvements in 2017. A huge thanks to the team at Facebook and everyone else who has contributed this year, it's been fun! Here's to even more great work in 2018 :clinking_glasses:

Thank you!

I've used many frameworks & libraries in the past. I really appreciate the thought and design put into react! I love using this tool and find it great for teaching good JavaScript design skills.

Thank you!

Thank you for making the web development world a better place!

Thank you! For making web/native development such a joy! ❤️

Amazing work! I can't wait to see what 2018 has in store for React!

Thank you all for putting so much love and efforts in this wonderful library which React is! I wish you all a great new year!

🙏

Thanks to the team for making web and mobile development a lot more fun! <3

Big thank to the React team and devs who have contributed to it! 💯

Thanks for creating (what I perceive as) the best front-end solution for adaptive view management!

Stay frosty!

thanks for a great year of development with react! onward and upward 🙂

Thank you! 🙏

Thank you very much guys. Very appreciative of people who dedicate their time to open source. Much success in the new year!

Thanks guys, thanks Dan!

Thank you guys! Your work is impressive

Thx for supporting the community.

Thank you team! Been using React for well over a year now constantly ever day at work and now landed a job dedicated to React apps. Looks forward to further development!

Thanks folks! Keep up the great work!

Thank you 🐒❤️

Thank you keep the Great work Up ❤️

Thanks for the impeccable 16.0.0 release and the decision to re-license React under MIT. I use React, React-DOM, Immutable.js, and Jest on a daily basis and they make my open-source work possible. 💟

Tank you guys! <3

Thanks for all your work! Looking forward to the future of React!

Thank you to all the maintainers and contributors that make this possible!

Thank you to all open source contributors! 🙏 ❤️

Thank you!

Thank you so much for all the hard work to make our web development experience so enjoyable!

Keep up the good work!

Thank you guys! Keep it up :)

Thank you! And keep the great work!

React is extremely amazing, and with its abundant ecosystem, it is a breeze to develop with React. Yarn with its lock files ensure the same packages throughout the board, but while npm 5 wants to bring that to npm, yarn is so fast that I never think of using npm. I sincerely thank the developers at Facebook for maintaining these libraries and appreciate their efforts. Keep up the good work!

👏 ❤️ 🎉 ⚛️ 🃏

The React framework has been key in keeping me really excited about being a front end developer. So thank you for helping make my development days so pleasant 😊

Thank you from the team at Infinite Red! A large chunk of the software we built this year was enabled by your work, and we are grateful. ❤️

Thank you so much!

Thanks for making me love frontend development.

Thanks for awesome code !

Thank you to everybody at the React Team! ❤️

Thank you!

Thank you guys for making programming so accessible. 6 months ago I couldn't make anything. Now I can build web apps, android apps, iOS apps, desktop apps thanks to React. Love from Paris 🇫🇷 !!!!!!

Gracias totales desde Paraguay 🍻 🍾 🎆

GraphQL, Flow, React Native are all great stuff!

Thanks to everyone at FB Open Source, ❤ from Senegal!

Thank you! React has changed my life :)

Thank you from London!

Thanks to you and your awesome work this year guys felizz navidad and a happy new year from the boddom of my hearth

Thank You So Much!

Thank you guys, your work is amazing thank you for making developing a fun thing instead of a boring
chore❤

Thank you! <3 <3 <3 <3

Thank you to all the open source teams at Facebook! Not just the large projects (React, Jest, Yarn, Buck) but also the smaller projects that don't get quite as much recognition :)

Thanks to all!

Thank you and happy new year everyone! Much health and good code!

Thanks :-). This is very sweet.

Thanks to everyone involved! Makes my every day life so much better :)

Thank you 🤗❤️

Thank you. I've been using React for some time now and I am enjoying it! Your hard work is very much appreciated.

Yes many thanks! I use so many of Facebook's excellent tools and frameworks every day and it's made my development experience immeasurably more enjoyable. Keep on doing what you're doing!

Thank you, you made web development fun again. I used jQuery in the past and it was a nightmare to synchronize the UI with my app's internal state. With React and Redux, the UI is automatically synchronized with the state, so my code is less cluttered with "synchronization code". Before using React, I had all my code in a single JS file. When I was introduced to React, I learned to split my code into smart components, dumb components, actions, reducers and vendor files, it made my code easier to search because I can hit Ctrl + P and jump to the part I need to work on. I sincerely appreciate all the work you did to make web development enjoyable and easy for human brains.

Thank you!!

I thank all of you! 🕛🎈🙌🎊🎇

Thank you!

Thank you very much! It's a pleasure to work with this environment!

Thanks for making them happen!

you guys did the unthinkable: made me convert from an iOS native die-hard into a platform agnostic, react-native evangelist. To everybody behind react, react-native, flow, jest: kudos, thank you and keep up the good work in 2018 and beyond!

Thank you!

Thank you and happy new year! 🎉

React was one of the first JavaScript Frameworks I looked at but I didn't get it at that time. But now when I understand it properly. I've fallen in love with it. So a huge Thank You. Also a Happy New Year

Thank you!!

Thank you and happy new year to all! ❤️
I learned a lot from this amazing community!

Thank you to all of your hard works. You guys inspired me a lot. Keep being awesome! :clap: :tada:

Thank you for all the hard work! Happy New Year, more Open Source to come! 🎆🎇🎉

Thank you! You're all an inspiration. Happy New Year! 🎉 🎉 🎆

Thank you so much for everything you do! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you everyone who made the React and made open source. One of my resolution of this year is to atleast raise one PR in react and merged.

Thanks for Facebook to make React ecosystem open source... 👏👏👏

Thanks for contributors to make React ecosystem better... 💪💪💪

Thank you! Learn a lot from you.

Thank you guys for making one of the most intuitive and gamechanging libraries since jQuery. Massive respect for all the work you guys do and have it be Open Source for the community. It is mindboggling how much it has advanced webdevelopment as a whole. Sure angular might have been the first around and Vue might be simpler in some cases, but in my opinion React really hits the sweetspot for the amount of complexity combined with it's functionality. I've been using the library for over a year and I honestly think it has been one of the most amazing things in webdevelopment in a long long time. I am happy to be around to see one of the most amazing libraries change the way how the front-end industry works. You guys are some straightup game changers which have accomplished incredible things for the industry and community. Instead of keeping it private and only in use for facebook you guys decided to make it open source and help the advancement of technology as a whole. I want to thank you guys again for this amazing library you guys have brought to us. Please keep the good work up and i wish you all an amazing new year!

Thanks a lot @gabegreenberg for the awesome work @reactjs . Wish you the same :)

Thank's guys you are awesome =)

Thanks for an amazing 2017, and here's to an incredible 2018 to come!

Thank you Facebook

I'm really grateful for Prepack. Partial evaluation, Symbolic Execution, Abstract Interpretation: These advanced concepts can only be learnt in theory. Seeing them in action in a an open source project has made these program specialisation techniques accessible to everyone: specially those without formal education. Thank you very much for it.

Ofcourse, thank you for React and it new direction too. New ideas, though conflicting sometimes, is making everyone rethink about Javascript and Web frontend. We're are on our toes constantly correcting ourselves all thanks to the open source work Facebook has done with React and related projects. Golden days I would say.
