- JavaScript has come a long way! It's a crucial language for modern web development, especially for frontend web development.
Over all those years, we've seen many JavaScript language features, libraries and frameworks - some stuck around, some didn't.
Are we now in the last phase of JavaScript framework evolution?

I dont know if this is going to be read but ever since I started my last year in computer science, right before graduating, I jumped into self-teaching because I felt school wasnt teaching me enough. I went on Udemy and found Max. Finally I actually understood something about web dev, front-back and full stack, all the theory I learnt really put into practice. Eventually I landed a job in a Vue/Nuxt based company this late summer. Thanks a lot Max
This is inspiring. Congrats on your progress.
Before jQuery, there was Prototype and Scriptaculous. I'm old and lived through the entire JavaScript evolution.
and coffescript before es6 .
@@nikoszervo And mootools.
Hey hey hey you're not alone guys. I lived through all of that too 😂🤦😂
I might be wrong, Moo tools as well right? Im a 2017 developer, hearing these ancient technologies sounds like medieval shit
And Dojo Toolkit
I feel very safe when i hear Max’s opinions
Max isn’t just a smart , kind and expert man
Max is a very logical man
Thank you for everything max ❤️🙏🏻
Wish you the best ❤️🙏🏻
true, I heard about this opinion that it all went backwards by using more backend, but now I understand that doesn't mean that it's a bad thing.
@Academind Hi Max! Investing in your courses has been one of the best decisions I've made to date. One thing I would like to congratulate you on, is the quality of your English and how you have progressed in articulating yourself over the years. I would argue that you are effectively a native speaker now. That in itself is a superb achievement. 👏
I can't believe, that svelte and sveltekit was missed :(
Fun for side projects and independent devs. Not really widely used in enterprise or big companies from what I find
@@kimbapslayer1995 Let's change that. Rebel against the managers that keep using React for no reason
@@kimbapslayer1995 ok, but from this perspective solid shouldn't be mentioned as well. Pretty sure analog also don't used widely
Also it good to mention monorepos, e.g. turborepo and nx. Nx could be be very helpful for react, it have great generating tool
Because he doesn't sell those courses of Sveltekit
No mention of Svelte ? That's the only tech i'd like to use out of Angular.
I would say the next evolution is compiling and getting rid of virtual DOM as Solid and Svelte do.
Can you please explain compiling. How does Svelte and Solid update the Dom without a virtual DOM?
I was there since HTML 1.0 and I still got IE scar to prove it. I feel web has finally stabilized and I don’t expect another revolutionary to happen anytime soon. My guess is that browser will simply be a streaming software. We no longer need to ensure browser compatibility and can use much more efficient tool than HTML,css, JS.
personally I like svelte. React dyed for me ages ago... its just layers on top of layers to make one thing work right.
What about svelte and sveltekit ?
Really enjoying learning Remix JS at the moment. One of the reasons is that it sticks very closely to standard web APIs so you're also learning stuff which is common and will always be of benefit, like request and response objects etc.
I’m just going to add to the chorus of people who noticed Svelte was conspicuously absent. No, you can’t list all frameworks, but it’s hugely popular and very much fits the next step in the evolutionary progression you listed.
Actually there are only six meta frameworks out there~ Sveltekit, Next, Nuxt, Remix, SolidStart, QwikCity and Sveltekit is missing, it is quite interesting that Max ignore it 😅😅😅
"hugely popular" - in the YT tutorial world, I guess
You’re missing out the « back to basics » movement started by HTMX. A JS library write less JS by extending HTML.
It’s really taking off on the Django world as it brings back django as a proper fullstack framework.
Thanks a lot Max for your amazing courses and I am glad to have purchased most of them. You are doing a commendable job by creating content based on lastest technologies in web development. I enjoyed your latest React course update and indeed it's the best.
Can you please also update your CSS course wherein you explain concepts with demo projects similar to your React course?
Thanks again and keep up the good work!
The jump to the angularjs stage was absolutely giant. Suddenly the UI had its own build tools, package management, etc. You could no longer just drop `app.js` into a lib folder.
@@kishirisu1268 React is compiled. If you don't believe me, ask an actual engineer.
I would say, never change a running system. I am stuck with my Laravel Vue application combo and I can do build any kind of application with it, compared with a overall framework like quasar or build by your own wrapper this can be adapted as an Desktop Application, Hybrid Smartphone App or even a super dynamic Website. Don't change to much of you will never have time to do some productive work at all. My PS4 Package Sender v2 is a great example for this and not only it's one of the best of it's kind, it just works perfectly.
I used Max's course when I started to learn React. I recognize the voice anywhere. Gigachad Max 🙏
Wow max..!
It's always soo good to hear youu
Can't believe he didn't mention Svelte.
This kinda completes the cycle. But with new tools and modelling it's always interesting to work.
odd you didn't mention Svelte and Sveltekit
Svelte out of beta not even for 2 months! why compare it to a Frameworks like React and Angular which is in the game for around 10 years. can Svelte stay same for the next 10 years without breaking anything? if then, it will be outdated, or if they introduce new features or architecture then it will break things and the Developer Experience aspect will be gone!
@@nivethan_me Svelte is 3 years old.
@@SilvestreVivo read my comments again, it doesn't matter when it started, its just 2 month old
@@nivethan_me svelte is 3 years old.
@@nivethan_me 🤦♂
I'm shocked you managed this video without saying Typescript at least once 😮
Hello Max, I'm working through your Remix class. Great stuff. Thanks.
I personally prefer Net Core , view components and ajax. Strange combo, but gets the job done nicely imho with easy structure/models and api. But again I am weird ....
brother thaks you a lot because of you react js coursing i got job in a software company love form pakistan
Congrats
now we are going to populate new frameworks in the backend!
Max you are amazing!! Love you♥
Is Node Express framework not an alterntive to these upcoming meta frameworks?
Yes. I agree with where Javascript is going.
We are also in the next evolution of Max's UA-cam production value
Thanks your Udemy courses are amazing. I learn react with your course!!!
Would have loved to hear your take on web assembly and MS Blazor, which, with the combination of Blazor client and server side options, gives you that next gen option you see us going in.
Not a single word of Svelte in this overview ? Astonishing. I'm wondering if it's not part of a contract with Meta (and related to your React book) because it looks very much intentional. I think it is crazy to not even have a word about Svelte and Sveltekit, specially after StateOfJS2022 which clearly showed that Svelte is on top and growing.
bruh moment, get out with these conspiracy theories
@@YuriG03042 Anybody can give his opinion, it's why comments exist; If you don't like a comment, downvote it, if you don't agree and have arguments you want to share, you are free as well, but telling people to not say what they think because you don't think like them doesn't seem very smart.
Of course what I say in the video also applies to / includes Svelte. My goal was not to drop as many framework names as possible but to share my view on the overall landscape - that of course includes ALL frameworks
Agreed. Svelte was conspicuously absent, given it’s popularity and the fact that it’s already implementing something much closer to the envisioned “next step”…I actually thought the whole video was setting up to highlight it at the end.
very suspicious indeed
Never ended to use Php and it payed off
I supose Svelte and Sveltekit are missing from the list because they are so good that this is the future?
It’s not a list. The goal was not to squeeze as many names as possible into the video. It’s a video with some general thoughts about the landscape - which obviously includes svelte
@@academind Difficult to understand you mentions Solid and not SvelteKit.
@@academind I understand that video format is not a list, but this word is quite useful when you want to emphasize that something is missing.
Otherwise, your content is great 😉👍
Thanks man, its like having an European Seth Rogen explaining me this.
Lets keep going
Love your content, thanks for sharing!!
I've been coding JS for 20 years and love knockout. The biggest plus is the mindset where the js knows nothing about the html. The HTML binds itself to the JS. Knockout is more of a utility, but the mvvc mindset is the the most important part.
What is your thoughts on the Qwik framework? From what I've seen so far, it is quite a paradigm shift from other frameworks.
Astro can do similar thing, with providers, but at the end everything is new and better paradigm, until, the project gets messy.
Astro Qwik and all of the other island architecture frameworks are interesting, but I think the jury is still out any will take off or it's just a passing fad. Personally, I can't let go of NextJS 13 until I see some convincing reasons to drop it. SolidStart is the only newer framework that I have interest in.
@@coherentpanda7115 Looks like crap about to fail, i don't see what brings to the table, qwik i astro really push forward FE frameworks...
What's your take on Svelte + Svelte Kit?
Thank you for this video, nice summary and thoughts! What I got from it though, is that you are soon going to lunch a SolidJS course. Awesome!
We started with backend rendered pages and now more than a decade later we're on the same point again. We should stop following big tech decisions and start being real with the problems we have, not them.
JavaScript Universe (JSU) Phase 7 it began
Java developer here. I am comfortable with C/C++/C#/Java. But when I look at JavaScript, I feel like someone was drunk when they came up with JavaScript. I can not wrap around myself with JavaScript. I am not trying to be little JavaScript developers. It is just the way I feel.
With so much efforts invested in JavaScript, why can't the browser lords just agree to use strong type and OOP C++/Java/C# to drive everything in browsers. You don't have to stay with a scripting language like JavaScript forever. So much energy is piling up JavaScript ... so much ...
If you prefer C#, you may consider Blazor, which make the SPA development much easier for the developers who familiar .NET tech stack.
They are using Typescript
I wonder about Django and specifically Django Templates for front-ends. Is it even a thing nowadays or are the JS frameworks the way to go?
Wouldn't this direction make PHP gain relevance again? I've recently explored Symfony 6 and I was surprised of how close the dev experience is to a node-based framework but then the 'modules' are much easier to obtain and use. I feel like it has gone under the radar while everybody was looking solely to JS, but I bet any JS framework fan would get second thoughts if they tried sf.
Symfony is the complete and utter opposite of anything NodeJS: super opinionated, bulky, slow to develop in and a pretty-looking tool aimed mostly at impressing clueless clients.
Check Laravel too
@@nordicnomad5473 Will do.
Thank you.
You forgot to mention Svelte and SvelteKit, 2nd most loved JS framework.
The video was not about squeezing as many framework names as possible into it but to share some general thoughts on the overall landscape - that obviously includes svelte
yeah its most loved but not most used! I see frequently Svlete users pop up in the chat and reminding everyone to use Svelte but until its secure a job opportunity like Angular or React most people won't care imo
There are only seven meta frameworks out there~ Sveltekit, Next, Nuxt, Angular Unuversal, Remix, SolidStart, QwickCity, and Sveltekit is missing... The No.1 framework is not getting attention from Max, very interesting 😅
@@maskman4821 that's not even close to naming all the meta-frameworks. And with tools like vite-plugin-ssr, you could write your own fairly easily.
If someone has love for another framework/meta-framework, by all means, give it a shoutout, but no reason to criticise this excellent video because something else didn't get a mention (not directed at you on particular)
Thanks Max
thanks for the video, what do you think about laravel?
Thank you for the video! So are we moving to the fact that web developers should know and use both frontend and backend?
I like this kind of content, thanks Max!
MAX will do course on sveltekit and then he will add it in the list. Until no word about svelte or sveltekit
Could you please make a separate video on AnalogJs please 🥰
I love the wall art in the background: !FALSE -- It's funny because it's true 🤣
Hey Max. Thanks for this video. I was expecting you to mention NestJS too. Don't you think it has a future combined with Angular?
Max please can you update your nextjs course. Thank you sir.
@academind Can you do a separate video for AnalogJS ?
Could you please update VueJS course to use Vite, Pinia and Volar
And there is still no built-in package manager in browsers with cloud storage so that all sites use the same sources for libraries, and do not load everything in own bundles or from different cdns.
I have been building apps with meta frameworks such as Sveltekit, Next, Nuxt these days, I havent tried SolidStart, QwikCity and Remix yet, but I found out Sveltekit provides the best DX and overall the best SSR, with Next we cant write client side javascript in server component, but with Sveltekit we dont have such issue because different architecture, Nuxt is cool too but I personally think Sveltekit is the best meta framework and it is a master piece from Rich Harris which is a reality you have to face, just give it a try and you will definitely fall in love with Sveltekit, the no.1 meta framework 💪💪💪
I tried nextjs nuxt3 sveltekit and solidstart and i really like sveltekit.
The DX, ssr and reactivity is amazing.
I think solidstart is very promising but there’s alot of work to do for the DX.
You should try it out if you like react. It doesn’t use a virtual dom. Instead you subscribe to certain states.
the actually reality facing part is you have much better chance of getting a job with React or Angular than Sveltekit,
a new framework can do lots of things without thinking about breaking changes(compatibility) but React, Angular, Vue are in the game for a long time. we can only see how Sveltekit gonna handle that after some time
If looking for a job there are tons for React and none I see is hiring "svelte" developers. It's not there yet and most companies have already built on React / Angular / Vue.
Only chance for svelte are super startups and hobby projects for now. Give it a year or two. 😆
@@nivethan_me @Nivethan Dude, we are not talking about job opportunities, we are talking about meta frameworks, Sveltekit is No.1 but not even mentioned among seven existed competitors and that confused many people you know 🤔
SolidStart is still in beta, but it will be sick once it passes 1.0
Thanks for putting this together. It's helpful for a guy who has been primarily backend development and needing to move to modern stack dev. Great overview!
Hot take: All these frameworks move to backend because they can provide server infrastructure for hosting (e.g. Vercel) which they charge a shit ton of money for.
I work in phase 2 still 😄
What JavaScript framework would you recommend for a project that needs to be highly stable over a two-year period of inactivity? Ideally, it should require minimal to no updates for the framework itself and its dependencies during this time. Is there any particular framework known for its long-term support and stability? lol
I bought 8 courses over the years from your courses max, and I will continue to buy more because you are an awesome instructor!!!
I hope you do an extensive course on GraphQL.
and I'm asking one more thing if you could give me your python course 2023 for free, I would really appreciate it.
I looked up for a python course in Udemy, I even searched in your account in Udemy for python course, and I didn't find it, then I proceeded to buy python course from another instructor, I tried to request a refund so I can buy your python course, and they didn't refused to do so, little I know that there is another account for you, there I found python course 2023, but I'm short on money 😣.
thank you for this video 🌹
would love to see a solidjs course this year
The fact he name dropped it multiple times gives us hope.
That would be solid
Weird that you didn't mention svelte which compiles your code to js so you don't ship a framework to the browser.
Or qwik with it's innovative resumable feature which gets rid of hydration.
Qwik and Astro should have been mentioned, but the "compiled" frameworks were covered as an aspect with the inclusion of Solid (basically what Svelte does for "Vue-ish" code, Solid does for React)
You only ship JS with Angular too.
express.js is used more than next.js in back-end development
Interesting video!
So basically, we are moving more and more towards what Rich Harris coined as "Transitional Apps" in this great talk right here: ua-cam.com/video/860d8usGC0o/v-deo.html
I'd actually like it if that term would become the official name in the long run, it is very fitting. Maybe you could help that along Max, by adopting the term to use wherever it fits.
And speaking of Rich Harris: I also hope that you will announce a new course about SvelteKit soon, it certainly deserved one. Or, even better, update your Udemy Svelte course and replace the whole part that covers Sapper (which is basically officially dead now) with SvelteKit lessons instead. I would certainly pay for such an extensive update.
Next phase will be back to vanilla js
Later JS adopt all required features into the core.
Similar we will no longer required any CSS preprocessors
Why you didnt mention svelte?
Honestly, this video sums up the problem with JavaScript and why the Vanilla.js website is so important. You forgot to mention that we also got evergreen browsers in this time and better native apis. ... But the video makes sense if you make all your money selling courses for JavaScript frameworks.
Even when you use "vanilla" js, eventually when your app grows, you will create templates, wrappers and utilities for readability, composition and consistency. Essentially you created your own framework that only you understand
@@aquaductape There are standards, patterns, and conventions you can follow. So "no" to what you said.
You didn't talk about Qwik which I'm much more interested in, I'm planning to build my next app with it.
He focused on the "big 3" frameworks, which ate the most important for getting a job at the moment
SvelteKit. Done.
This is the first I've heard of Analogjs lol. It's very interesting because the recent livestreams from the Angular team have had the creator of Analogjs (Brandon), and other angular team members, talking about the work they will put into ngUniversal to adopt the metaframework features. That seems to contradict the work that Brandon is doing on his own. Very interesting situation. My suspicion is that he was working on it since last year and it wasn't until more recently that the angular team decided internally to add these features to the monolithic angular way as opposed to metaframework approach.
Angular will not support vite but custom esbuild, I think analog will be more lightweight but as a result will be able to adopt new technology without waiting for Angular team, analog just uses vite, also has file-based routing.
Android: Well, its been a few years time to change everything
Web: Hold my framework
What is the difference between Analog.js and Angular Universal? I thought Angular Universal is like next.js for react?
Yes, Universal for SSR (Server Side Rendering)
@@brahmharsh24 but what is the difference between Analog.js and Angular Universal?
What about web assembly
I see Maximillian also reads and listens to Swyx.
Saying that Angular is more important than Svelte is like saying that Ford is more important than Tesla
i'm not into svelte right now, but i think is the future, is probably the most disruptive framework i've seen in several years or even a decade
Next phase is emscripten and webassembly
The elioWay is the future. Frameworks will keep evolving. But if we stick to the same patterns and data models anything written in any framework is reusable.
next phase, Typescript everything
Wow, I’ve watched a lot of your videos in the past, and I have liked them, but now I have to question everything you say going forward because you didn’t think it was worthwhile to even mention Svelte!
what is the best language to choose for backend development , python , java , rust , go ?
.NET (C#) 🙂
It is a never ending argument man, i'm also searching for an answer for this, But what is know is for frontend it is the only one JavaScript (with TypeScript of course) so i learnt JavaScript and stick with Node for backend too, it pays me very well so why should i torture myself with Java or Rust! maybe in the future i'll be learning Go or .Net
@@nivethan_me seriously this question has no proper answer . just everything depend on what type of project you are doing . every tech has there pro n cons . i will stick to node for time being but will look for python or may be rust . again depend on need of my project ,, thanx @Nivethan

What does this mean for us new full stack developers?
I've chosen MERN Stack, what do I have to keep in mind to safeguard myself for the future that's about to come (according to you and these framework teams)
Use Nextjs instead of Expressjs. And PostgreSQL instead of MongoDB.

Learn next js 😅
@@ndetayou cant just jump into nextJs dude
Stick with vanillaJs just to learn dom manipulation, attaching events and writing funcs. Learn about how js works under the hood and the principles. Then what Frameworks to learn is purely opinion but i’d go reactjs. Then try typescript and move to nextJs.
Good luck with the pain and suffering of learning front-end.
