I think we've reached the point where React is ready to be challenged by a new competitor. Unfortunately I haven't seen one yet.

I think we've reached the point where React is ready to be challenged by a new competitor. Unfortunately I haven't seen one yet.
- wizofaus 4y agoLLMs may well obviate the need for further JS frameworks - at least ChatGPT seems to be just a capable of generating pure JS vs framework-based JS from what I've seen so far. At any rate the sorts of things it's good (and not good) at doing don't seem to vary with the choice of framework. Having said that, as long as there's an expectation the generated code still needs maintenance by human devs, there may be a reluctance to step back from frameworks.
- Sammi 4y agoThere are currently two new web frontend frameworks that are sharply on the rise: Svelte and Solid. Both do away with much of the complexity of React.
- yakshaving_jgt 4y agoIf you'd consider an old competitor, then Elm does everything better and is much easier to learn.
- Sammi 4y agoToo closed off to the world. You can't win over the world if you are closed off to it. Elm has been going nowhere for ages now, and will continue to go nowhere, as long as they keep not listening and don't give people what people ask for.
- yakshaving_jgt 4y agoAs far as I can tell, people keep asking for runtime errors. That would defeat the purpose, and turn Elm into yet another JavaScript-like foot gun.
