Why are they so many distros of Linux?
It's a feature of open source. You don't like how something is done in framework X or you have an idea for building something useful/productive/cool, go ahead and do it. Separating JavaScript frameworks from Linux though is that everyone online uses a browser, and therefore, uses JavaScript. To say it's popular is an understatement; companies invest a lot in their JavaScript projects and ecosystems, and if you can create a differentiation or competitive advantage by creating/modifying/forking your own thing... then why not? The best ideas get combined in the end and fold back into the overall ecosystem so let a thousand frameworks bloom!
- smacktoward 7y ago> It's a feature of open source. There are lots of open source languages out there that haven't displayed this pattern. After their initial burst of frameworks, most FOSS language communities ended up coalescing around one or two -- Ruby around Rails, Python around Django (and to a lesser extent, Flask), PHP around Symfony and Laravel, etc.
