How development history keeps repeating itself

• 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]

  

I feel like this is one of the hottest topics right now. Recent frameworks with SSR support include Next.js, Nuxt.js, SvelteKit, Remix and others. But didn't PHP do server rendering already 20 years ago? Yes, but... PHP did only server-side rendering and nothing else. The strength of tools like Nuxt is to give developers the best of both worlds. They combine the benefits of SSR with those of single-page apps (SPA), which is extremely useful for very dynamic websites. A popular concept in this context is partial hydration. So, if this was a competition, I'd definitely give this point to the side of the "modern approaches".

• Next.js

  2,047 120,804 10.0 JavaScript

  The React Framework

• gRPC

  201 40,775 9.9 C++

  The C based gRPC (C++, Python, Ruby, Objective-C, PHP, C#)

  

The most popular framework today in this space is gRPC by Google, but there are also Cap'n'Proto, tRPC, JSON-RPC (less of a framework, rather a convention) and others. And then there used to be SOAP for a long time. It's considered outdated and deprectated today. But in essence, it was doing the exact same thing - just in a slightly different way. Of course, gRPC has a few advantages over SOAP, especially more efficient message representation, thanks to binary encoding, and communication, thanks to HTTP/2 – on the other hand, though, SOAP has discoverability, thanks to to WSDL. The point I'm trying to make is that the fundamental concepts are almost exactly the same.

• Cap'n Proto

  66 11,201 9.2 C++

  Cap'n Proto serialization/RPC system - core tools and C++ library
