My 2016 JavaScript predictions:<p>1) React.js starts to lose popularity due to it&#x27;s ultra complex tooling ecosystem. People want to feel like what they learn will be still be useful at their next job. The React ecosystem doesn&#x27;t provide that; the React ecosystem tends to burn people out.<p>2) Smaller frameworks like Vue or Riot takes the spotlight.<p>3) Angular 2 is a hit thanks to its &quot;batteries included&quot; design, which will appeal to React burnouts.<p>4) A new JavaScript rendering-based framework will come out and become a hit. Something like Turbolinks or Glimmer, except it doesn&#x27;t break jQuery or sandboxes you to an ecosystem.
