useEffect, useState, and order of execution
Have you got an example of the code you've written, or something that resembles it? Happy to explain the order things happen in React but probably easier to explain in the context of what you're working with.

Tailwind or Chakra?
Definitely agree with most of the comments here, chakra has been really good for building quick small apps where I don’t really care about the styles. I’ve been using tailwind more recently for a bigger project though and the end result can look much better, it just takes a bit longer to get there.

But yeah, going from support to no support is one of the reasons they're unsure. I just remind them that their entire product line is built on spring boot and they've never needed support for that.

It does, but nobody uses it for some reason, ironically.

I'm pretty sure it is. Not only are they paying a license fee to use a shitty framework, it was shitty at the peak of its popularity 10 years ago and they spend weeks training every new dev to use it themselves, because there is no educational content.

This whole experience has been wild though, I've learned more in the last week just thinking about putting this argument forward than I have probably in the previous 2 years.

Yeah I've been pretty careful to not come across like I'm just mindlessly complaining because "old thing == bad", but I think because of my relative juniority they just expect that behaviour by default.

Honestly, yes. It has taken us almost 2 months to create a web page with a table that updates on websocket events.

Because I know it will make my team a lot more productive once they come around to it. Maybe I shouldn't care so much.

How can I 'sell' React to a workplace of dinosaur devs who hate javascript?
It's the thing which I'm trying to convince them to use. The original point of the question was supposed to be 'how can I frame React to make it appealing to a team who are stuck in old ways'. I got side-tracked.

It’s not a bank, but they do have reasons for the security so it’s not completely misguided, just naive. I’ll probably give it a few weeks and if nothing changes I’ll quit.

The only thing keeping me there is the value I'd get out of teaching them, if they did decide to pick it up.

Half of the problem is that they are so tight on security. Everything has to be self hosted and offline, they're behind a ridiculous proxy, and they do everything they can to have packages go through their own artifactory. Idk how you reason with management that insists on this kind of thing.
