Long running projects in JavaScript may not be that long really. If you leave any codebase for a couple years, things would have changed so drastically, new devs may not even recognize the code. An year old JS project may be using React, a 2-year-old project could be using Angular, a 4-year old project might be using Backbone, a 6-year-old could have $("#el").bind() all over while 8 year-old project could have been in Prototype.js.
- postcarnival 10y agothats an interesting reflection thank you
- edwinnathaniel 10y agoSince I've gone through the same experience like this, I'd like to know if this is a norm :D. I've seen people do write-up of how they re-write the front-end from jQuery to Angular|Ember|React so it's not like there are many long-running JS projects that require solid structure. 3 years old (small-medium size) projects tend to get re-written. Here's another one that I've seen and experienced before: 10 years old product where some section of the products are written in pure JS, some section in jQuery, some section in BackboneJS + Marionnete, some section using EmberJS.
