Heads up: Our Ideas Factory has been refreshed, levelled up, and grown-up into Alphero Intelligence. Some of our old posts are pretty cool tho'. Check this one out.
- We're evaluating the up-and-coming JavaScript frameworks
- ReactJS is still by far the most used JavaScript framework with 84% of JS devs saying they use it
- Beyond the obvious Vue.JS we have both Svelte and Solid JavaScript frameworks on our radar
React has become the de-facto standard for web development, and it's too easy to assume the framework has everything correct, one size fits all. Both Svelte and Solid have piqued our interest and show highly positive reactions from the development community, both according to State of JS survey and from others we know in the industry.
- Svelte is highly efficient as it tries to shift as much heavy lifting to the build step. Creating highly optimised applications with a low barrier to entry and minimal boilerplate code required.
- Solid is a super easy transition from React with a very similar syntax. It's highly performant and ditches the Virtual DOM to have a smaller memory footprint.
These frameworks both have a smaller developer ecosystem but bring an interestingly different perspective to the world of JavaScript frameworks. We're excited about exploring the opportunities and will post updates and our findings as we explore them further.
