As a primarily PHP, MySQL and plain HTML, CSS web developer, what are the primary advantages to JavaScript?

• Gatsby

  356 55,000 9.4 JavaScript

  The best React-based framework with performance, scalability and security built in.

  

Just dick around with it in codesandbox or similar. It should be pretty apparent pretty quickly what the advantages are. Also Gatsby is a very easy way to get introduced to React for building full size websites and stuff if that is your use case (assuming it is from your current toolset).

• Svelte

  632 76,402 9.9 JavaScript

  Cybernetically enhanced web apps

  

React, Angular, Vue are client-side frameworks. React and Vue are about building components (another one is Svelte), Angular/Meteor about that too but has more stuff like routing, building et al in the initial package itself

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io sponsored

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• Nuxt.js

  207 42,699 8.0 TypeScript

  Discontinued Nuxt is an intuitive and extendable way to create type-safe, performant and production-grade full-stack web apps and websites with Vue 3. [Moved to: https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt]

  

You can think of Next.js as a React equivalent for the rest of Angular + more features like static site generation (and Nuxt.js as the Vue version)
