| > Does Web development in 2023 not have 2-3 tech stacks that dominate? no > Are the existing frameworks/techs so lacking that new ones keep appearing to address those problems? The existing frameworks are fine. Most languages have just 1 or 2 frameworks for you to build in that language. The problem child for all of this is the JavaScript ecosystem. A lot of developers in that space just keep proliferating a bunch of heavy-handed frameworks that do not accomplish anything new, but represent some opinionated take on architecture, tooling, etc., and which obfuscate everything behind layers of magic and indirection. > Is there a high rate of change because things keep improving? For the most part, I wouldn't say things are "improving" that much. I mean, React and Vue and Svelte are better for front-end development than what came before, for sure, but, speaking at least re: React, it's become a bit of a monstrosity. Pluses and minuses, I suppose. Again, the problem is mostly in JS land. They are a little like the stereotype of Java devs, in some ways. |
