>React has essentially won the mindshare battle I'm looking to learn a front-end framework and had a few people recommend Vue. Sounds like maybe I should go for React instead? In case it matters, I'm not looking to be a front-end developer. I'd mainly like to improve some small projects I have. And get the most value out of my time learning a framework.
As a backend developer who makes frontends for his projects, I enjoy Svelte. I found React to be quite complex when I tried learning it last year. I’d use vue if not for svelte, probably.
Svelte's reactivity was also something we had in Splash, the Microsoft-internal UI framework that was used to build the Zune desktop app and Windows Phone 7/8. I haven't enjoyed building UI since then, but with Svelte I can finally enjoy frontend development again.

Vue is much more 'batteries included' than React, while also being incrementally adoptable. IMO this is why it's popular with the jQuery crowd.
> IMO this is why it's popular with the jQuery crowd. I had no idea. I've only used React, Angular, Backbone, and custom frameworks at work (mostly React in recent years), but I like what I've seen of VueJS because of its "batteries included approach" (which is React's weak point, although they seem in some ways to be moving toward being a full framework). VueJS seems about as different from jQuery as you could get.…

Yeah the idea of building a 100% static site in react seems a bit ironic to me. Handlebars is so much simpler to work with for a static site (like a blog) that isn't going to "spring to life" and become a SPA. But I can see it being useful in the niche area of someone who needs to do server side rendering for performance (every millisecond to first render counts), while keeping the code simple by not having a second…
Next.js positions itself as a hybrid framework, and is recommending SSG (static site generation) by default over SSR. See this discussion [1] with the response from rauchg (framework author and Zeit founder) outlining where they are heading. This ability to easily mix SSG and SSR pages within the one project, the PHP-inspired philosophy of simple file-based routing for pages, and pre-configured babel / webpack with e…
If you're still suspicious of SPAs, you can be sure there's still an alternate universe outside of the Valley bubble that builds server-side web apps on modern frameworks, though now we use Vue.js instead of jQuery. PHP has continued to be a top language of choice for the working class dev, and Laravel is an example of one of the most beautifully crafted (and wildly popular) web frameworks ever made. Examples of the…
Probably the most surprising thing for you: Go is getting generics. No exact timeline, but it's happening for Go 2.0. Rust is seeing production use in many places and its being accepted more as the sane alternative to C for modern development of high performance software. Ecosystem still not big or mature enough to make big waves, however, but that depends on how you interpret "big waves". SPAs are used and abused, t…

Docker-compose with nginx-proxy should work well for home labs.
Until it's not just one machine. You might briefly then use Swarm... But does anyone for long, whether production or home? K8s has its complexities for sure, but to me it's the simplest - or at least 'only figure it out once' way of running multiple machines (besides having 'the webserver', 'the db server' etc., of course.)
