Ask HN: What JavaScript MVC libraries are most popular right now?

3 pointsbjhoops13 comments

Trying to get a better picture of the adoption rates of the various frameworks - Backbone, Angular, Ember, Batman, JavaScriptMVC, etc.

What I would love to see is a chart which somehow measures adoption rates and interest in the varying MVC frameworks graphed over time. I scoured the web and could not find anything like this. Has anyone else found anything like this?

The closest thing I've seen is this: http://blog.stevensanderson.com/2012/08/01/rich-javascript-a...

Doesn't give adoption rate, but it does give an idea of relative popularity as of last august.

That's a great article (I'd read it before). I would love to see someone come with a fancy way of scanning github, twitter, etc. to find numbers to gauge the interest in each of these frameworks/libraries.

Based on our experience working with clients at Cantina, Backbone seems to have the biggest mindshare and widest adoption. We have several active projects that are making use of it.

There has been some passing interest in Angular and Ember, but nothing concrete yet. The press on Ember for the past few months may raise more awareness.
