I think, the "3rd Age of JS" [1] of frontend libraries are running directly in the browser without a build step. Like in the beginning. ES modules in the browser paves the way.
Svelte and Solid are actually the pinnacle of the "2nd age of JS".

- ryansolid 6y agoI read that article a few weeks back. It's interesting. I see the desire to lessen on tooling but it is going to be hard to match what these libraries are doing purely runtime. I know people want to get there again. But I think we are more likely to see lighter dev methods and then when it comes to actual production the real advantages of compilation and bundling.
- sreekotay 6y agoIt's an interesting thesis but feels a little cult-ish in mindset. The Neo-isomorphism prediction seems most interesting in terms of the benefits. Because honestly - I think we are MORE likely to see a shift towards containerization of services/apps rather than a module orientation.
