State of JavaScript 2024

The obvious lack of diversity (and respondents versus last year šŸ˜¬) applies of course, but thereā€™s some interesting stuff in here still. The ā€œother front-end frameworksā€ section specifically.

Astro, Ember, Remix and jQuery have all grown in usage vs last year, but Next.js has stagnated somewhat. I guess thatā€™s why the Vercel CEO is currently posting through it (warning, Twitter link).

All Iā€™ll say about that data is to remember how low Next.jsā€™ share is ā€” even in the favourably non-diverse respondent data from this year ā€” whenever someone tells you it is ā€œthe most popular frameworkā€. The (extremely) loud minority applies.

Iā€™m really happy to see Astro growing too. It powers this site and allows us to render very little JS, even though our front-end is built with React components. Astroā€™s SSR system is working wonders for the CSS course too.
