> So as the bubble grows, you start also seeing jobs requiring "10 years of Tailwind experience" more and more often, the projects you rely on are starting to switch to Tailwind, and now you have to use Tailwind, like it or not, because everything is glued to Tailwind. If the bubble keeps growing, then we also see a myriad of "like Tailwind but for JavaScript", "like Tailwind, but for SQL", "like Tailwind, but for web services" and there's no end to how far it can go, because bubbles, driven by the aligned wide-eyed stupidity of millions of delusional people can grow to wrap around the entire industry, before they pop.

Ah, just like React!



Kinda.

If React dies I'll be sad. While most of React is BS, the "ReactDOM" component, the Virtual DOM model that is applied to the real DOM by "delta" diff, is a solid concept that deserved to live. Unfortunately we do tend to throw out the baby with the bathwater, when we decide something is uncool.

We're a very stupid species.


When has anything in tech ever actually died? I guess there will be people building sites in React forever. Haha


Does anyone, anywhere still use Coffeescript?


I think that rely on several other fact.

- Javascript evolved, so you no longer need some crazy long template to support simple sentence like class extends - TypesScript appears, and also benefit the js eco system with d.ts files. And it even become coffeescript's short coming - Editor evolved, the editing experience is far better than before. The time typing long keywords can mostly compensated by auto-complete

But what will be the pain point that react can't resolve, other framework can and out weight any other benefits? I don't see that as for now


Hahaha. Ok yes, there definitely are also some things that die.


First time: someone's opinion actually changed as a result of a brief Internet argument.
