React is the Walmart of JavaScript frameworks. It’s everywhere, it’s massive, it’s not particularly elegant, but it gets the job done. Meta’s baby has grown into an absolute unit, dominating job listings, GitHub stars, and the collective anxiety of junior developers trying to understand why useEffect fired seventeen times when they only wanted it to run once.

OGs remember Ember vs knockout, prototype.js vs scriptaculous.. jQuery.. Yahoo UI!

I think at this point react is settling in as the java jdk of the web. Good enough for most but pales in comparison to Wordpress..

Neo.mjs is a pioneering multi-threaded JavaScript framework that redefines web development. Leveraging an Off-Main-Thread (OMT) architecture, it delivers unparalleled performance and scalability for complex applications, enabling desktop-class multi-window experiences with advanced features like shared state and component persistence, and a zero-builds development workflow.

I mean I feel like electron apps are a thing that weren’t mentioned here? I get the push to move towards plain javascript and typescript objects again, But again feels like this glosses over huge eons of web Time when people had to target IE6 and IE11.. Those scars don’t fade..

Harris took a different approach. Svelte performs its middle-layer work before a developer uploads code to a web server, well before a user ever downloads it. This makes it possible to remove unnecessary features, shrinking the resulting app. It also reduces the number of moving parts when a user runs the app, which can make Svelte apps faster and more efficient. Wang says he likes to use Svelte for web pages, but he still uses React for larger applications, including his professional work. For one thing, the larger an app, the more likely a developer will use all of React’s features.
