React + TypeScript seems to be to frontend JS as JEE was to Java.
- hassancf 7y agoJEE to Java? In a positive way? Or as in: this is a humongous framework for what it’s doing (CRUD apps)...
- riffraff 7y agoI'd think it means "the ubuquitous choice for certain things". JEE was somewhat disliked by many even at his peak, while react+ts seems to be beloved by most users :)
- BossingAround 7y agoIt's a good question. As in: If a large enterprise, e.g. a bank or an insurance company, has decided to write an app in Java, they'd choose JEE/TS. That was my original thought.
- d0mine 7y agoWhat is Ruby on Rails in this analogy?(the thing that replaced JEE monstrosity)
- BossingAround 7y agoThere is none. I'd consider Ruby on Rails not relevant nowadays for anything but small shops. You can find exceptions, and for example the whole Gitlab is written in Ruby on Rails, but you can find exceptions for Cobol too. Personal biases are involved I'm sure. Ruby is fine, Rails is great, I just don't see it used very often. On the other hand, I still see a ton of JEE being heavily utilized in a number of sectors. Ruby might have in the past taken over Java for small shops that basically create a frontend to a database, but I'd argue that was never true for the enterprise sector.
- d0mine 7y agoI don't believe people would choose voluntarily JEE-way of web development over rubyonrails and the like (django, flask +zillions others) after 2004.
