In 15yrs, None of the current js frameworks will exist as they do now.

If I had to make a project, I would bet on vue because it is community funded

I am pretty sure in 15 years React and Vue and Svelte will still be used frequently. Unless everything gets replaced by AI.

We're approaching the diminishing returns when it comes to front end frameworks. All the big ones are decent. I don't feel a need to have a better framework.

My bottleneck is how fast I can write logic and CSS. With complex components a lot of time is spent on managing state correctly, implementing all the minute details that the designers came up with.

> everything gets replaced by AI

oh god, what would that mean for the web? an unreadable mangle of JS, HTML, and CSS, even when it's in source code format? count me out!

I mean, you don't have to wait for AIs to make that garbage.

See: creative software like Adobe CC that technically saves to common formats

If it works, it won't matter if the source code is unreadable. As long as AI can handle it.

Nobody is going to pay programmers to write clean code if AI can write working code for 0.0001% of the price.

I think we are reaching diminishing returns in the current paradigm that was sparked by React, but the iterative nature of the web means that a new paradigm is bound to appear. I think there are a number ways this can go.

- Some older language or tech is upgraded and crosses over via WASM

- Immediate mode GUIs rendered with Canvas

- Heavier reliance on the base web standards without as much build processes. Either SSR like HTMX or an event driven rehash of MVC for SPAs.
