Frameworks of the Future?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Hobo

    The web app builder for Rails (moved from tablatom/hobo)

  • I'm not looking for the overthrow of CRUD-through-MVC. Rather, Hobo and Hoodie seemed like advances---Hobo was sort of Rails for Rails, and Hoodie was an offline-first framework for something like what we now call Progressive Web Apps---when I tried them early in their life-cycle, but both seem to have withered away. And nobody else (that I can find) seems interested in improving graphical design (as in, "just use Material Design, or Carbon, or whatever"), cleaner parent/child relationships, automatically updating views and controllers to match changes to the models, and probably features that I don't know that I need.

  • Phoenix

    Peace of mind from prototype to production

  • Today, most of that mess is just how you threaten children to behave, because everybody else now has their equivalent to Rails. C#/VB.NET's ASP.NET, Elixir's Phoenix, Go's Beego, PHP's Laravel, Haskell's IHP, Java's Jakarta EE, JavaScript's Express, and literally dozens of others now have effective parity with Rails.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

    :dog: The Offline First JavaScript Backend (by hoodiehq)

  • Ruby on Rails

    Ruby on Rails

  • What I mean is that---apologies for the history lesson---once Ruby on Rails got its footing, it did enough that it changed how web development happen. Web applications in the 1990s was a nightmare, hacking everything together through CGI and session variables, which didn't substantially change until Rails.

  • Laravel

    Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We’ve already laid the foundation for your next big idea — freeing you to create without sweating the small things.

  • Today, most of that mess is just how you threaten children to behave, because everybody else now has their equivalent to Rails. C#/VB.NET's ASP.NET, Elixir's Phoenix, Go's Beego, PHP's Laravel, Haskell's IHP, Java's Jakarta EE, JavaScript's Express, and literally dozens of others now have effective parity with Rails.

  • ihp

    🔥 The fastest way to build type safe web apps. IHP is a new batteries-included web framework optimized for longterm productivity and programmer happiness

  • Today, most of that mess is just how you threaten children to behave, because everybody else now has their equivalent to Rails. C#/VB.NET's ASP.NET, Elixir's Phoenix, Go's Beego, PHP's Laravel, Haskell's IHP, Java's Jakarta EE, JavaScript's Express, and literally dozens of others now have effective parity with Rails.

  • Express

    Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.

  • Today, most of that mess is just how you threaten children to behave, because everybody else now has their equivalent to Rails. C#/VB.NET's ASP.NET, Elixir's Phoenix, Go's Beego, PHP's Laravel, Haskell's IHP, Java's Jakarta EE, JavaScript's Express, and literally dozens of others now have effective parity with Rails.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • beego

    beego is an open-source, high-performance web framework for the Go programming language.

  • Today, most of that mess is just how you threaten children to behave, because everybody else now has their equivalent to Rails. C#/VB.NET's ASP.NET, Elixir's Phoenix, Go's Beego, PHP's Laravel, Haskell's IHP, Java's Jakarta EE, JavaScript's Express, and literally dozens of others now have effective parity with Rails.

  • beam

    Apache Beam is a unified programming model for Batch and Streaming data processing.

  • I asked a similar question in a different community, and the closest they came up with was the niche Apache Beam and the obligatory vague hand-waving about no-code systems. So, maybe DEV seeming to skew younger and more deliberately technical might get a better view of things? Is anybody using a "Framework of the Future" that we should know about?
