Maybe I haven't been doing this for long enough (~8 years), but I think we're starting to see a plateau in JS-land.

I jumped into React early-on (5 years ago), and it's still going strong, and has been for way longer than Angular / Backbone / ExtJs ever did.

I wouldn't say Express is abandoned, I feel it's more that it's "matured". I mean what else can you add / improve?

State management is still an un-settled area; 2 years ago it seemed like Redux was the best choice, but GraphQL / Apollo is eating its lunch. However, when you think about it it still follows a similar conceptual model, but making it even more declarative: You have your "store" (the query result), and you dispatch "actions" to modify that store (the mutations). You just don't have to dispatch an action to fetch data from the server anymore; Apollo handles that for you.

It's true that JS churned very fast for a long time, but I'm seeing signs of it slowing down as problem areas become "settled" one-by-one.

Let me know when it's done settling in ECMAScript Land, then. In the meantime, I'm doing interesting stuff Somewhere Else.
