Do you remember the time when a new JavaScript framework seemed to pop up almost every week? Or a new programming language to solve some problems in a different way?

I know we are in the AI hype right now and instead of new frameworks, new AI startups are popping up every week, so it’s understandable those things aren’t the primary focus of the community, but what I fear is, what will happen after?

Will there be any new way to do something? Who will create a new JS framework if AI only knows React the best? Or how will a new programming language gain traction if AI models aren’t trained on it to vibecode with it?
