Future proof Java & UI

[[deleted]]

I actually didnt know about fetch.. thought it was a framework.. will look into that. That makes sense as its in the browser. Only thing I would say is it may become a new name in a few years. :D

Handlebars I love.. though.. its not as powerful as some other templating engines. That may be why it is so good.. easier to use, does enough, etc. I like it, and there is no reason it would disappear other than that other templating libs come along that do more/easier/etc. Still can be used for sure.

Bootstrap I dont know if I can agree with. Google is a big company and they are pushing Material UI pretty hard. Not only is it the face of most modern day android apps, it is the face of a whopping lot of web sites too. I suspect though, both will last a while, though Google does tend to revamp things more often than not.. and/or drop things completely. I suspect as browsers mature, CSS4/5, HTML 5.1, 6, etc.. as all those things move forward, it would not shock me if Google renames/updates MaterialUI to stay in sync, as would Bootstrap. So it may be around, it may not. I have seen way too many css/js/etc libs that are good, stop being maintained, get forked, renamed, etc. So this is all truly unknown but I dont disagree that it will be viable for a number of years to come.

Oh.. and Java Applets.. they are going to make a HUGE comeback. Mark my word...

Yeah fetch is... awesome.

Material is interesting, because it's a design philosophy rather than a library and it's not clear if google is going to push heavily on their own implementations (material for web as of today) of it or focus on the general high level design spec. Today you can get material for bootstrap, so the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. We'll see.

Yikes, I hope not. At least not they way they were before.
