React. Today, because it's awesome, but I'm also exited about its development (like fiber).
Relay 2 (not yet released), which claims to introduce a lot of new features (like local state management, think something like flux/redux) and better performance (more details: https://speakerdeck.com/wincent/relay-2-simpler-faster-more-predictable https://speakerdeck.com/wincent/relay-2-simpler-faster-more-...). If the team behind Relay 2 were to deliver even 50% of those claims, it'd be fantastic.
Functional programming - I was introduced to it on university, it was ok but I wasn't raving about it. What's funny to me, JS made me love FP and before React I really hated JS and looked at it as a toy language.
Scala - I'm only learning it but it's fascinating and learning it broadens my general CS knowledge.
- derricgilling 10y agoScala is definitly a cool language to learn. I like the type safety in statically typed language, and Java is just too verbose. Scala + Play Framework + Akka is solid. We use scala for parts of our pipeline for https://www.moesif.com https://www.moesif.com Docker is definitly up there also with Docker Swarm/Compose, etc. Just a matter of time as Docker Cloud and the whole Container as a Service area is fully matured. I like Kubernetes on Google or Docker Swarm on Azure, but still a ways to go before it's like spinning up a Heroku like instance. They are one of the few companies able to execute very well in getting people to adopt a new technology.
