    Uni-directional data flow was not exactly a new idea when React/Flow came out, they just made it more popular. There were quite a few other libraries/frameworks implementing similar ideas.

    I heard that 'objectively better' line for years from 2015 onwards, mostly from less experienced devs. Facebook's backing and the personality cult that developed in the JS community around the time certainly had a part in it.

    A framework called Ractive [1] was published by the author of Svelte in early 2013, which foreshadows some of the syntax seen in the latter.
