I’ve been dipping my toes into NextJS, Vercel, PlanetScale, and other serverless / edge providers, and there’s so many terms / concepts thrown my way that I feel overwhelmed a lot of the time.

I mean, I’m already a web developer well versed with React, and I love my SPA setup with Vite, so for others outside the web dev space, this must be a nightmare to keep up with.

Was curious to hear your thoughts on the rapidly evolving space of web dev.

    Does Blazor count? I’ve done a little with that. Mostly though, no. My job doesn’t require much frontend work and even if it did it would be jQuery at best.

    I don’t think you’d really need to either unless you genuinely enjoy being at the bleeding edge. React, Angular and Vue aren’t going anywhere any time soon. That could be laziness talking…

      I’ve been loving Blazor and it totally counts! I’m using it in a hobby project to make mini-games using canvas and integrating with PlayFab (kinda like neopets). It feels so nice to work with and can be so powerful and surprisingly flexible. Angular feels so verbose and unnecessarily bloated any time I even look at my colleagues’ code now 😅

        As a .NET developer with a strong dislike of JavaScript being able to write a frontend using C# is fantastic. The only complaints I ever hear about it is actually around Visual Studio support and not Blazor itself.

        I really hope it takes off.
