> What makes JS frameworks so quick to change? … What's the urge to reinvent rather than evolve?

There’s a really low barrier to entry for creating and sharing JS packages. Basically, you can just create a free account on npm and run “npm publish” to make a library available globally for free. Updates are just as easy, and using packages is even easier.

It’s this super low-friction of JS development that drives the ecosystem to constantly iterate. And it even allows solo developers - like ^ this one - to publish and share a new framework.

I haven’t tried to publish packages for Java, Go, Python etc… but I would be very surprised if it’s as easy and unrestricted as npm…

Python is that easy as well, but community tends to focus on libraries rather than frameworks. So there's rarely a splashy site other than docs and less need for evangelism.
