Disagree on yarn - npm is still trying to keep up and the latest releases are doing well Seems like within React, Redux/Apollo/plain is splitting the data layer again too But the yarn/npm is a tiny difference and data layer is much more application specific
Redux is quickly being relegated to pile of don't use. I suspect 2020's survey result will show hooks to have completely destroyed redux.
I've never understood that position. Hooks and redux solve completely different problems. Why would the introduction of hooks change anything about using redux?
Comparing average numbers in that chart, Preact is 22% faster than React, Svelte is 12.6% faster than Preact and Inferno is 14.5% faster than Svelte. (note: Preact 10.1 is out and this uses 10.0) Vanilla JS 1.04 (5.8% faster than Inferno) Inferno JS 1.10 (14.5% faster than Svelte) Svelte JS 1.26 (12.6% faster than Preact) Preact JS 1.42 (22% faster than React) Total Size isn't that different either. That's an 11% pay…
Your total size numbers are almost entirely dominated by Bootstrap and a font, which are the same for all the tests (and not something that would be used on a site where payload size matters). Svelte's JS output, gzipped, is about 40% smaller than Preact and 65% smaller than Inferno. Assuming those ratios hold up for larger apps, that would be one reason to consider Svelte.
With only 20-ish milliseconds to load, parse, and execute, the size difference disappears into the noise and is irrelevant. In addition, that difference definitely does NOT scale. As you add more components, the ration of component to framework becomes larger and larger as the internal wiring is used over and over again. All those things in the framework have to be re-created quite often in svelte. Even if Svelte could fit all its component changes into the same area as a React-style component (which I doubt), that extra 9 or 21kb would still disappear into irrelevance.
It’s a small country but with nearly half the population of Spain, and the most densely populated country in the world outside of Taiwan. Not to mention a massive development community (and one of the largest internet infrastructures in the world). So, more relevant than you’d think :)
Taiwan and The Netherlands are not even close to being the most densely populated countries in the world. Taiwan is 652/km² and Netherlands is 418/km². Compare that to Macau 20,286/km² or Singapore at 7,804/km². But I agree that The Netherlands has a pretty big development community, and generally their English is fairly close to being native.
That’s interesting, I’ve never done the math myself but I’ve seen it mentioned in many places that those are the two most densely populated countries in the world. Maybe they are only looking at the density in urban areas and excluding agricultural areas?
Half of my income is from training people in JS and Python. I have 50% of those missions that are requested to be "advanced" courses. The vast majority of the participants are not up to the task. They are paid professionnals, but they consistently overestimate they level, skills and needs. They often are not very good, and of course, they don't know what they don't know. So I always check for that first, and rewrite…
> you wanna learn react and you never used an arrow function, wtf At least in the early days, using React was the first time most people would be exposed to webpack/babel, so it was also their first exposure to the newer JS features.
But they've been part of the ES standard for nearly 5 years now.
Wow, just learned of Svelte from this. After reading their explanatory blog post and coming upon this blurb: That all changed with the advent of hooks [React and Vue], which handle state in a very different fashion. Many frameworks started experimenting with their own implementations of hooks, but we quickly concluded it wasn't a direction we wanted to go in ... We can just use the language. Updating some count value…
FWIW, MobX lets you mutate state in the same way. It does require you to make use of its observer/observable functions to make things reactive, but in general it works amazingly well. I strongly urge everyone to try it!
MobX is great. It's even better when you remove the virtual dom and rely only in its internal dependency tracking:

Svelte is great but IMO it has some weird dev ergonomics.
The data visualization is often awful and misleading. For instance, consider https://2019.stateofjs.com/javascript-flavors/ 1. The first graph shows "Rankings". I strongly doubt rankings are more importants than values. When Clojurescript goes from 67% to 72%, this increase is shown as a ranking decrease because Reason was introduced at a higher ranking. 2. The meaning of the data is unclear, since the exact question…

Oh, I see now that the stats I frequently hear cited exclude small city-states, and have a smallish threshold of somewhere in the 10 to 20,000,000 range for the country population.
Wow, 39.9% of respondents mark themselves as "Expert" at CSS. I've been doing front-end in various guises for 12 years and I would only rank myself maybe 5 or 6 out of 10. As I've gotten more experienced in my career I've become more aware of what I don't know as opposed to what I do know. It's funny that "Advanced" is mastering animations and transitions whereas "Expert" is being able to develop a full-front end con…
Probably the Dunning-Kruger effect in action :) Wikipedia puts it well: > It's a cognitive bias in which people assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their competence or incompetence. https…
