A new JavaScript framework is not "the next big thing". It's the next thing that everybody's going to jump on as a bandwagon, but that's not the same thing at all.

The actual next big thing? Not a language. Not some hardware change ( I mean, ARM servers could be big, but only the server people will care. It won't be the Next Big Thing.) Not block chain - that's close to played out. Not machine learning - that's too far along. It's what's now, not what's next.

I see two possibilities. It might be quantum computing. I doubt it, but it might be. It also might be wearable VR. Again, I kind of doubt it, but I doubt it less than I do quantum.

That's not entirely fair to JS frameworks. There hasn't been a major new framework in years, with Angular, Vue and especially React dominating the ecosystem. React in particular presents a unique way of thinking about and composing UIs and the model has leaked into plenty of other ecosystems, for example SwiftUI which borrows heavily from it.

The reason new frameworks can't dislodge the big 3 is because they aren't bringing new ideas. Any framework that changed UI development as much as React did would absolutely be worth noting.

What's your opinion about Svelte? Has it made any big contributions to the ecosystem? Isn't the syntax and in general the way of creating components more intuitive with Svelte in comparison to for example React?

[schwartzworld]

It might be more intuitive for some, although that's a very subjective term. It's too much like react to really displace it, imo.

Why do you doubt quantum computing?

[AnimalMuppet]

Quantum computing will revolutionize some areas. I doubt that it will revolutionize computer science as a whole. I think that there are many more categories of problems that it won't change than categories that it will.
