The State of Javascript 2016
13 Oct 2016Depending on who you ask, right now JavaScript is either turning into a modern, reliable language, or a bloated, overly complex dependency hell. Or maybe both?
Overall, ES6 is king, Coffeescript is done, and people are still creating new syntax/languages that will compile to javascript.
As to frameworks, I was surprised (or… maybe not?) that more people would not use Angular again (34%) than would (30%). Not surprising… (uh confimation bias?) React is hot, and developers are satisfied with it (54% would use again vs 5% would not). Also… Redux is king for state management (which looks like a React-only question. I’m not sure if other frameworks use these)
