Progress is typically limited by the unreasonable stubbornness of older generations. You are following a long and petty human tradition. Plate tectonics was widely derided by the old guard of geologists. The field had to wait until they mos

Non-blocking I/O is quite mature on Java, and it shows. Unfortunately Java is still a rabid devourer of memory. Its RAM consumption tends to be the biggest con whenever evaluating the pros of using Java. Sometimes it's worth it. M

Threads are for doing your own work in parallel. Async is for waiting on others to do their work in parallel. Your own work would be some CPU-intensive operations you can logically divide and conquer. Others' work would be waiting for

I've comments on it, but here goes again. I can't at all say Svelte lacks magic, but that magic is focused on eliminating boilerplate, not hiding where everything is coming from and going to. It is jarring at first when you look a

Oh! I forgot one of the best parts! CSS is automatically scoped to your component. No manual shenanigans. No weird naming rules your dev team have to agree on. No giving up and just using inline styles. No hacks. Just make a descriptive cla

My point was you were very TS/JS-centric with a preference for frameworks that embed HTML and CSS in JS instead of the other way around. Try Htmx?

I never said it wasn't successful; I said it had successfully increased complexity. I am glad you are an experienced React developer. React needs more of you, because the vast majority aren't. That said, I have little doubt your a

You may prefer it to jQuery's model, but that doesn't make React's model good. Try SolidJS. Similar ethos to React but far less boilerplate and performance-killing repaints. Less code is better, functional or not.

On the frontend, Java was dropped fairly early on. Long before the iPhone effectively killed plugins. The backend has always been less prone to singular dominant monocultures, had far more stickiness, and greater diversity of implementation

Yeah, serves the same niche as PicoCSS for me. Always good to learn about alternatives, especially relatively non-disruptive changes like a CSS skin. FWIW: Material UI for Svelte has been around for a while as well. https://svelt

Yep, the amount of UI component libraries for React is truly staggering. I myself am more of a clean, standard HTML with PicoCSS kind of dev, but that model doesn't work for everyone. Some might be surprised how much plain old HTML and

My most recent use of Angular on a project is using v13 at the moment. I've been doing more infrastructure work lately, and Angular's build times—and bundle sizes—have been a persistent sore spot for me. I keep eyeing v16 jealousl

Embedded? I would have used the term "infectious". Its complexity and ecosystem will be its Achilles Heel. There are no small number of examples of folks rewriting their React apps in weeks or even a weekend in something like Svel

A combination of the devil you know and Stockholm Syndrome. It was better in many ways than the dominant techniques in 2013, sure, but that's not a terribly high bar, especially when observing the React model a decade later. React serv

I have seen Angular projects last pretty long avoiding code entropy. Angular is opinionated, rigid, and verbose, but goddamn if that structure and predictability don't pay off in the long term.

In fairness, client and server code negotiation can be an intrinsically hard problem. NextJS just tends to make matters worse more often than better.
