Ask HN: What are your expectations for next web UI framework?

2 points by bartq 4y ago ↗ HN

Let's assume React/Vue/Angular/Svelte and all the rest of all popular frameworks are going to be superseded by some next generation of library/framework/language/system. What will it be and why? How to escape the hell of new JS framework popping up every hour?

Of course I have my own thoughts and I'm going to present them soon in some blog post, but I'd like to ask what you guys think too.

You want to escape the hell of new frameworks, but are asking about what the next ones will bring? I think the ones you mentioned are pretty mature at this point and have been solving most problems that people have been having with previous frameworks. Call me an optimist, but I think the framework churn is finally moving behind us.

Such an optimist!

For real though, I've heard this for every single "paradigm change" that has happened during the last ~20 years (and I'm sure many before me has heard it for even longer). Things will continue to move in some sort of direction.

I think there's no reason why visual IDEs couldn't take over FE for web at this point. It's just natural for something with visual output to also have a visual development experience. Game engines work this way, and now with one flow state frameworks like React, the overall architecture has many similarities.
