See you in ten years! We're a hop, skip and a jump from one click automated conversion from every legacy Java app to web and electron desktop compatible code and we can just retire Java entirely. in 2025, Java is not the most performant. It does not run in the most places. it is not the easiest to write or reason about. its advantage over anything else is momentum and it's losing that too. React is just a formalizatio of a UI update pattern that exists in every app ever made except the ones that are bad. Source: written a lot of java and nobody is currently paying enough to make it worth doing again.

      React occupies a very similar place today as angular did back in the day, and angular is on life support, if that.

        I don't know what argument you think you are making. React was released in 2011 whereas AngularJS was released in 2010 and Angular2+, what we actually call Angular, was released in 2014. So your counter examples of popularity are projects what at best started out at the same time as React but unlike React winded down in popularity. After over a decade l, React is not only the most popular framework by far but also is the support framework for a few of the top 10 frameworks. So what point did you thought you were making? That React managed to become the dominant framework whereas your examples didn't?

Yes, that would be my point (the courses will be outdated that once sold well).
