--- title: "The React/Rust full-stack option" publication: "React Status" issue: 434 published_at: "2025-07-02" canonical_url: "https://react.statuscode.com/issues/434" --- Plus no-one's talking about React this week. | #​434 — July 2, 2025 [Read on the Web](https://react.statuscode.com/issues/) Together with [![Code Rabbit\](https://res.cloudinary.com/cpress/image/upload/c_fill,g_auto,e_trim,w_1238,h_192/e_make_transparent/co_white,e_outline:27/fcshbu9d17nd8smej96j.png)](https://coderabbit.link/l8VgA6c) React Status [![\](https://res.cloudinary.com/cpress/image/upload/w_1280,e_sharpen:60/wjovvbmqd7n5nhfwd1nk.jpg)](https://mbrizic.com/blog/react-is-insane/) [React Still Feels.. Foolish, and No One is Talking About It?](https://mbrizic.com/blog/react-is-insane/) — We wouldn’t normally feature such a provocative piece, but the React blogosphere has been _very_ slow this week and the discussions around this article have been substantial enough (on [both Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1lokxnv/react_still_feels_insane_and_no_one_is_talking/) and [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44428489)) that we’re giving it a chance. Mario illuminates some pain points around complexity in modern, rich SPA apps and how the flexibility of libraries like React can quickly lead to a convoluted mess if you’re not careful. Ultimately, though, this is not a problem exclusive to React! Mario Brizic 😅 Now, can we please get a flood of positive articles in the other direction to feature?

As much as we enjoy making this newsletter, we also publish a handful of others you might not know about. You can see the latest issues of them all directly on their homepages: 💎 [Ruby Weekly](https://rubyweekly.com/) was our first ever newsletter, and it's still going strong 756 issues later! Unsurprisingly it's for Ruby and Rails enthusiasts. 💛 [JavaScript Weekly](https://javascriptweekly.com/) covers all things JavaScript, but also the broader ecosystem, including TypeScript, WebAssembly, build tools, and AI development. ⚛️ Just round the corner from JS is [Node Weekly](https://nodeweekly.com/) which goes deeper into Node.js, the npm ecosystem, and other server-side JS runtimes like Deno and Bun. 👩‍💻 [Frontend Focus](https://frontendfoc.us/) covers everything that appears browser-side. CSS, HTML, accessibility, WebGPU, browser updates – it's all in there. 🐘 Last, but not least, [Go Weekly](https://golangweekly.com/) and [Postgres Weekly](https://postgresweekly.com/) round out the family and you probably don't need too much of a clue to guess what they're respectively about ;-) __ _Peter Cooper, your editor_ Curated by Peter Cooper and Terence C.
