>Consider that a decade ago, people who were starting with the frontend were learning jQuery, which is almost irrelevant now. It's not that simple. At the time, jQuery was absolutely pivotal in bringing about ES5 and the transpilation revolution on the front end. More or less its' entire API was subsumed by the browsers, and so jQuery became unnecessary, but far from irrelevant. I can see the same thing happening today with React/JSX. There is simply no better way of expressing a UI than JSX-like components. And FRP as a paradigm for UI development is here to stay. So the future of web dev probably looks something like Yew [0].
