I just don't get the reactjs hype either. If you look at the data[1], it's still in the early phases of the adoption cycle while angular is a very broadly used

  For me, at least, it is a helpful reminder that HN is disproportionately enamored with the bleeding edge, and that at any given time around a thousand people are exploring Java for every one person exploring React. (Put another way: hype, even valid hype, can fall victim to an echo chamber.)

    "state of the art" is the keyword in the title. It does mean bleeding edge, most hyped, etc...

      Right. My point is more that the relative importance of using 'state of the art' technologies is overhyped on sites like HN, and that its role in the overall zeitgeist of computing is not as large as HN would have you believe.

  That data looks messed up to me. The Reactjs search is most common among Russia, China, US, Australia, Canada, France, UK, Germany. The Angular search is most popular in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Belarus, Israel, South Korea, Hong Kong ,Singapore, Tunisia, Ukraine. I suspect it may be because the angular search includes the term 'angular', whereas the equivalent for react is 'react js' (and not just 'react').
