Ask HN: Is React Here to Stay?

Due to how much industry adoption it’s gotten & how widely known it is by developers, it definitely is here to stay. Even if another framework eventually comes that takes React’s place as the go-to frontend framework, all the existing codebases will still need someone to maintain them.

What’s interesting is that it seems that a lot of newer popular frameworks are trying to build on top of it (IE Next) or support React components (IE Astro). New developments like this makes me think that even if React isn’t the go-to framework in the future, the React skill set will be easily transferable to whatever is.

> Frameworks popularity is in constant change.

React has been around for 10 years and it's been the most popular framework for a while now.

The churn now is meta-frameworks on top of React.
