Did you learn Jan2018.js yet?

If not your behind and your skills are outdated.....

What? You're still using a JS framework in 2018?

If you haven't already switched to WASM you're about as fullstack as one pancake.

I know people love to shit on JS for being blisteringly fast, but does it really apply here?

All 3 of "the big 3" are over 4 years old, making all of them older than windows 10...

And of the notable category:

Aurelia: around 2014

Elm: around 2013

Inferno: around 2015

Polymer: 2014

Preact: 2016

ReasonML: 2016

Svelte: late 2016

So most a few years old. Yes, it's faster than older technology stacks, because the web is still evolving quite quickly, but it's not as blisteringly fast as many make it out to be.

Yea I'd say the big churn appears to be around tooling and paradigm thinking (state management, functional programming, etc.), the latter of which driven in part by the rapid expansion of the language itself.

It's not the frameworks, it's the build tool daisy chain with it's countless dependencies.

They appear and disappear as fast as startups and projects which use them:)

Do you have any information or statistics or studies to add, or did you just want to post your quippy oneliner?

I would actually like to know if there's a list of systems, apps, sites, whatever, that are using any particular framework. Using data from Stackoverflow or NPM downloads just isn't the same as real-world examples of actual use.

Have you tried https://stackshare.io/ ?

Technically speaking, Angular 2.0 was released in sept 2016. So it is only 1.5 years old.
