That's not even true, it's just that nobody pays attention to other things.
Look at Windows desktop apps. If you wanted to make a native Windows desktop line of business app in 2000, you would use Win32 APIs. In 2002 or so, you were supposed to use WinForms. And then it was supposed to be WPF. And then Silverlight. And then WinRT.
- klibertp 11y agoDon't forget about MFC somewhere between WinAPI and WinForms :) And it's worth noting that in this case we're talking about a single entity - Microsoft - pushing these changes. In the JS-land, there are many more actors, and every one of them tries to be innovative: this has to result in a lot of changes over relatively short time. Nothing wrong with it, too. I think that, over time, the ecosystem will converge on a couple of best solutions and that it will be of higher quality exactly because of a "chaos" we're seeing right now.
- lisivka 11y agoSomeone need to cherry pick versions of popular libraries and make stable and maintainable LTS bundle, let call it JASMIN, which should be used in places where long term support is necessary, like CentOS. Then application developers will refer to "jasmin-1.0/jquery" instead of random version jquery. Developer will know, than this version will be supported at 3 years least, with bug fixes only, so he will not worry about incompatible changes in libraries and it dependencies for next X years.
