Yeah, I don't know, I feel like the constant framework churn has sort of died down and javascript is no longer changing the way it was a few years ago. It essentially moved from being a scripting language a decade ago to the 'full fledged' programming language it is now. Evolution during that time period was necessary, and a lot of frameworks and trends turned over pretty quickly. But now I feel like the JS ecosystem is on a much more stable juncture and not evolving as much. The most popular MVC frameworks are 5 years old and show no sign of going anywhere anytime soon. Best practices for tooling have mostly been decided. I think the web should continue to evolve but I just can't imagine it being as dramatic as it was over the last decade. Or maybe, I'm just a dinosaur too.
- Untit1ed 7y agoYeah I find it really weird that he'd write this _now_, when most of the technology he's referencing is 5+ years old, and there hasn't been that much churn in the last few years. About 4 years ago I started learning React sarcastically wondering what the next thing I'd have to learn was would be, and four years later I'm... still using React, and it's still pretty cutting edge.
- flukus 7y agoYou picked the right horse, those that didn't still have to deal with churn.
- nikkwong 7y agoYeah, I agree. Strong declarations about what the future will look like usually are laughably incorrect in retrospect; but, well, without some major paradigm shifts in how browsers work, I don't really see React/Vue going anywhere. The only thing I could maybe guess would be some AI that abstracts the programming away.
