The current state of the JS world is getting closer every day to the J2EE craziness about 10 years ago. As an outsider it was nearly impossible to understand for what all those frameworks with funky names were required at all. For an insider every of those new frameworks looked like the solution to a fundamental CS problem. However, those fundamental CS problems where nothing else then some shortcomings introduced by the latest framework before.
- lucideer 10y agoThe J2EE comparison is an interesting one. I remember attending NodeJS meetups in the local Engine Yard office buildings around 2012 before there was an extant local NodeJS community, so most of the attendees were coming from non-JS programming backgrounds. There was the odd Ruby and PHP dev, but the vast majority of the initial local NodeJS community here were Java people for some odd reason. I didn't really know much about the Java community, but my general impression of the Java-backgrounded presenters demoing NodeJS apps they'd cobbled together with libraries they didn't care to understand the internals of didn't give me good impressions. I've never noticed any other strong connections between Java & JS communities online or elsewhere, this was a just general one-off (but strong) impression from local meetups.
