MODERATORS
One always has to worry. Also there's lots of surrounding crap like react native. I wonder if that's included.
Is react still important anyway? I figured something else would be the current hotness by now.
React and RN are still huge. The first sentence of the article also says that RN is being moved too.
From what I understand, React is still very popular and it's the usual recommendation for those who are learning web dev frameworks.
React Native is not as popular for new projects though, and I usually see people recommending Flutter
Svelte has been gaining popularity for a number of years and is one of the best alternative frameworks IMO
I've recently started building my projects in Sveltekit, after becoming increasingly frustrated by how over-engineered NextJS is, and its been such an incredible experience. Everything just makes sense. Writing code feels like a breeze
Regardless of the current trends, react was the go to for long enough to make it ubiquitous far longer than it deserves to due to corporate technological stagnation. Take Java for example, it's been in this limbo state for a about a decade-better alternatives for servers exist and are widely adopted, yet it's still used a lot.
