Javascript fatigue is real. Shit in front-end land changes so fast it is impossible to keep up with.
We just finished a rewrite from jQuery to Angular 1, with updates to all the tooling that goes along with it. We're now at least three years behind the curve... Hooray!
Meanwhile, the backend frameworks we've been using have had one minor version Nuget package release in the same timespan.
- ng12 10y agoAngular 1 is 7 years old. And guess what? It's still a perfectly valid framework to build a web application with. There is no "curve".
- douche 10y agoOf course it's a valid framework. But the cool kids have all moved onto Angular2, or React, or some other thing I'm too stuck in the mud to even know about.
- whostolemyhat 10y agoBut why does that matter? Does your Angular 1 application work? Does Angular 2 existing prevent it from working?
- Sacho 10y agoWhy did you rewrite the app from jQuery to Angular 1?
- douche 10y agoAny sufficiently large jQuery webapp has a strong tendency to become indistinguishable from a plate of spaghetti, without strong efforts to keep things sane. Angular, once we got over the learning curve and converted over the old functionality, made it a lot easier to make changes and add features.
