Lots of comments about which technologies are becoming popular. what about things that have lost popularity? Ie. Ruby on Rails and Hadoop
They were probably equal in 2017, but now go seems to have far surpassed it in terms of server side relevance.
I think React is "winning" the framework competition, if we're judging from number of jobs. It seems like a business decision for many people - React can make websites and apps, and it's probably easier. I haven't had enough experience to say, but it seems like Java; not necessarily the best tool, but something easy to hire for. Flutter is also coming in hard on mobile. Also not something I've had enough experience t…
The most interesting developments have been in infrastructure. AWS has started to take on third-party, open source components e.g. Cassandra, ElasticSearch, MongoDB as they run out of things to build. Expect them to continue further up the stack possibly into applications. Kubernetes has really taken off with every cloud provider having a solid implementation. And it's getting massive adoption within the enterprise a…

Perf is becoming more important than it had been. Rust is still around and growing. WASM is becoming mainstream. You see some people migrating away from things that require garbage collection. Edge is becoming real, with Cloudflare and Fastly doing edge functions/workers, and AWS having come out with outposts, local zones, and wavelength (deploy AWS VMs to Verizon 5G hubs). AWS is still eating the world, Azure is doi…
Really? While I've heard of a lot of experiments and a few companies using it in production, I'd hardly call it "mainstream".
Earlier quoted context omitted.
nextjs? whats that you meant "nestjs"?
https://nextjs.org/ It's a server side rendered framework for React. It can also do static sites but doesn't have as many plugins as Gatsby JS, which focuses on static site building with React.
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 technology to do that rendering, and they need the same thing to be a SPA. Maybe a GMAIL type application? And again the user has to care - I don't care if I wait 10 seconds for my mail app to load as I'll be spending minutes in there once it does, and you've locked me in for other reasons anyway.
This might matter for SEO but to be honest you could just have a non-JS version of the same page which looks different for SEO purposes.
Next.js seems pretty hot, so I am probably missing something :-).
I'd rather not use JS on the server myself, so for my projects I'd either make a SPA with API backend and no server side rendering. Or just a classic "rails style" crud app with a sprinkle of JQuery.
I hope someone chimes in and tell me what I am missing and why to use Next.js other than "I only want to do JS and React for all the things."

SPA:s are now being overused for no particular reason, particularly by junior talents, who by now have been taught this is the one and only way to build Professional™ web sites. The Javascript frontend scene almost literally exploded, in various ways. Webasm got some serious traction. Old serious people like this, becuase it may eventually allow them to avoid the increasingly crazy javascript scene. Computer vision (…
Python/Django is a great choice for line-of-business/workflow applications where you have dozens or hundreds of users. If you're trying to be "web scale", then Java or Go are probably better choices.

Dumb question but how is react better than jquery? (Im from 2010 instead of 2017 like op)
It's debatable if it really is for most sites, especially if you have a good way to generate/write your html. React is a better choice if you are truly building a web app rather than a website.
Server-side React is a great way to generate HTML.
