This is a good list. Also web development has went down some insane rathole that it needs to eventually get out of.
Let's look at it.
Typescript: Javascript, only with strong typing from OO you love
React: Use Javascript as if it were OO with IOC
Vue: Finally the web component architecture that the web itself is coming up with in another few years, only here today
CSS Grid: Miss tables yet?
GraphQL: Install your own generic data layer, because you need a generic data layer, right?
Don't get me wrong. These are all great techs. I use them daily and plan on learning more about them over the coming year. But I can't get past the feeling that web development is simply suffering from too many dang developers. Come back in 10-20 years and we'll end up having another C++ that's more of a CF than C++ is. I sure hope it doesn't turn out like that. Right now we've got a thousand ever-changing solutions looking for a problem.

- DanielBMarkham 8y agoHappy path on all of this tech rocks. It's quite impressive.
- marcosdumay 8y agoBesides Internet Explorer, what failure mode does CSS grid have?
- doubletgl 8y ago>Right now we've got a thousand ever-changing solutions looking for a problem. Wow you're right. And a lot of devs can't resist that temptation.
