Remember how I promised you (or rather myself) two weeks ago that from now on I'd only write light, easy posts? Well… I broke that promise 😅 Last week I published a huge article about one of the least sexy topics imaginable: legacy applications. Somehow, despite that, the DEV editorial team liked it enough to include it in the Top 7 Posts of the Week ❤️
But today is finally the day for something a bit lighter. And I think it's a topic that deserves more attention.
These days we spend a lot of time talking about AI agents, and I absolutely understand why, because it's a fascinating field. But I sometimes feel we're forgetting that the programming languages we use every day are evolving too.
I spend most of my days writing JavaScript (well… TypeScript, obviously 😄). And yes, the ecosystem has matured a lot over the last few years. We no longer have endless React vs Angular wars. We're also mostly past those times when everyone loved Redux one month and six months later decided it was an overengineered monster and removed it from every application 😅.
But both the ecosystem and the ECMAScript standard keep evolving.
