It is not that popular anymore, tho. At least there is no hype, it is just a bureaucratic soulless tool used by many. The posts about the new React Foundation have almost no engagement here in HN. 5 years ago it would be a huge discussion. Now nobody cares.

I think HN is it's own anti-react bubble that really doesn't match reality. Everyone here decided they hated react in 2016 or whatever and doesn't want to update their worldview to the reality that react is frankly an amazing tool today.

Kind of sad to see a 2022 paper about svelete with extremely questionable benchmarks get upvoted so much vs all the great things that came out of react conf yesterday.
