Thanks for the article!

I would really love to see ECS being adopted for javascript apps more.

I can see several problems to be addressed to boost the adoption:

  1. This way of modelling looks foreign for many developers
  2. There are not much materials on how to use ECS with event-driven interactive systems
  3. There is no JS framework which will give basic integrations (e.g. IndexedDB) and complete data-ui dataflow.

Thanks for the message Alexey. Personally I think ECS is just a combination of composition/mixin, OOP, and actor done right. However, many users are still very adept to OOP-first so it's a little hard to wrap around.

What do you think?
