What the Data Says: Emerging Technical Trends in Front-End and How They Affect You
Over the last 30 years of web development a predictable cycle has appeared in the adoption, commoditization and eventual abstraction of major new technical trends in web development. This talk will outline how the cycle works, and use data from over 16,000 responses to surveys of web developers to identify the key trends in front-end development that are happening right now, and what the data hints may be coming next.

Building web apps is often characterized as painful, complex, and time consuming. There are many tools, libraries, frontend frameworks, and opinions about how to fix that problem… but they come with a catch. The frontend ecosystem is fractured into incompatible niches.
