Article: Frontend is Engineering #81

Open janko-sokolovic opened 6 years ago

Based on statistics from 1) https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2017#technology-programming-languages and 2) https://medium.freecodecamp.org/best-programming-languages-to-learn-in-2018-ultimate-guide-bfc93e615b35

it is obvious that frontend and/or javascript ecosystem is mature enough for serious engineering.

With all the tools you can wish for and standards enabling you to write 'proper' OOP code, it is vital for developers to be familiar with this topic.

JS has reached into backend (nodejs), native apps (react-native, NativeScript, Ionic,..) and with new wave of PWA it is only going to get broader.

Quote from 2nd link:
"Any application that can be written in JavaScript will eventually be written in JavaScript."

@abeggchr I had a thought about renaming the article. Something like "Frontend is not your enemy anymore"
