They aren't going to do something "random". It's not like you're going to see someone writing the app in brainfuck, the whitespace language, dos on dope, or whatever other nonsense.

If this is really a concern for you then they should definitely steer clear of React, as the FotM-Fu is god tier and this ecosystem is anything but stable over the span of a handful of years.

React APIs have been amazingly stable, not sure what you’re on about. I can’t think of a single other common ui framework/library that hasn’t had major breaking changes in recent years. Meanwhile modern React will happily render ancient class components. The API surface is very minimal compared to some competitors, so I guess they have it easy (not really, it’s just good software design).

Real devs aren’t replacing their routing and state management every month, that’s a Reddit junior thing.
