While I like the idea of reactive server side queries, the focus on React and Javascript/Typescript really turns me off.
I use Flutter for my front end, and I simply haven't had any of the trouble they say people are having with Firebase and React. Perhaps the problem is not the Firebase half of that combo.
I do use Typescript for Cloud Functions in Firebase and it IS slower than manipulating documents directly. I'd love having a more responsive mutation path with server-side business logic. But I'd love it more if I didn't have to write it in JS/TS.
