The Shift in Direction of React.js

Posted by



React.js, a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces, has been taking a new direction in recent years. This shift in direction is driven by a number of factors, including changes in the industry, advancements in technology, and feedback from the React community.

One of the main reasons for React.js taking a new direction is the changing landscape of web development. With the rise of new technologies and frameworks, such as Vue.js and Angular, React.js has faced increased competition. In order to stay competitive and continue to meet the needs of developers, the React team has been exploring new directions for the library.

Another factor driving the new direction of React.js is the advancement of technology. As new features and capabilities become available in modern web browsers, the React team has been working to leverage these advancements to improve the performance and user experience of React applications. This has led to the introduction of new features, such as the concurrent mode and server-side rendering improvements, which are aimed at making React applications faster and more responsive.

Additionally, feedback from the React community has played a key role in shaping the new direction of React.js. The React team has been actively soliciting feedback from developers and incorporating it into their decision-making process. This feedback has helped the team identify pain points and areas for improvement in React.js, leading to the development of new features and improvements that address these issues.

Overall, the new direction of React.js is driven by a combination of factors, including changes in the industry, advancements in technology, and feedback from the community. By staying ahead of the curve and continuing to evolve, React.js is poised to remain a leading library for building user interfaces for years to come.

Does that mean react is building its own backend capabilities and will push nextjs out of business ? 😅

Thanks, this really summed it all up nicely. It's funny that we're going full-circle in web development, back to the server. When I started, we built business apps in PHP, ASP, .NET, Java, etc. that were server-side monoliths, performed quite well for a decent user load, and were many times easier to build/maintain than a modern microservices arch w/ a React front-end, for example. You could actually be an *expert*, in-depth full-stack developer and reasonably keep up with changes and updates. Let's be real – we're not all Facebook and Amazon…most of us are seriously over-engineering solutions. It was a simpler time…ahhh…Pepperidge Farms remembers!

The real "Dev eloper" is built on piles of human tragedy, mostly woman(the product) and social social derangement(the consumer), nothing to be endorsed, celebrated or accepted in a culture that pursues principles and family values.

I DONT LIKE REACT AT ALL, AND I THING REACT ITSELF IS JUST A UI LIBRARY COMPARING IT WITH ANGULAR IS TOTALLY WRONG, REACT ITSELF IS NOTHING. IT ALWAYS REDUX, RTK ETC. THE KEYWORD 'USE' ITSELF IS ANNOYING.
