My take: Facebook are killing it because they are pursuing functional, reactive, declarative designs.

The next step on is to consider using a LANGUAGE that naturally supports this paradigm: Clojurescript or Elm are the obvious choices.

This dreamy utopian future https://speakerdeck.com/chantastic/inline-styles-react-europ... … already exists in both ClojureScript and Elm!! For example, the Reagent library in ClojureScrpt. Is insane popularity imminent?

I thought Facebook is killing it because they have a large lock-in network effect for their users. You have to be on Facebook if all your friends are on Facebook.
