Only talking about relatively new technologies, what is most appealing to you? Why do you want to learn it?

Supabase stands out. New open source alternative to something proprietary in Firebase, but also built on top of something I'm quite comfortable with in Postgres.
Haven't had the chance to play around yet, but it hits a sweet spot for me.
Putting this one on my list to test out for sure.
Make a post about it if you do!
Putting it into Notion now so I don't forget 😁
On the first look it seems like Supabase has no vendor lock in because it is open source but it actually is lock in because very important features are Supabase Cloud exclusive and not part of Supabase. Very sad.
I really recommend learning it. Currently using it for a real project and it has been awesome.
Also check out Thin Backend, it's similar to supabase but provides optimistic updates :)
I'll stick to the old stuff :P
Proved and tested is also a great way to go!
I´ve been dreamin with three.js everyday....
Machine learning, cause of its capability to solve many problems (if implemented fairly) for people.
I don't have anything new* in mind at the moment, I'm focusing on improving my current skills at the moment. I jumped between to many technologies, frameworks, libraries etc... a couple years back. It's was interesting and learned quite a bit, but it was a bit of a mess for my mind xD
For me it's Remix.run this year. My last three freelancing gigs I've done in Next.js and I think it's time to remix things a bit ;)
Seeing a lot of that
Wow this landing page (on mobile at least)!
For me is PWA! I love the concept, when I have some free time is the next thing I will learn!

I was tinkering with the idea of abstracting backend for simple apps and seeing this in action kinda validated that idea 😅
I want to try out frameworks that take a different approach in delivering content - I mean, if you use the popular meta frameworks for building web*sites* (with only little interactivity compared to apps), they all nicely SSR your HTML, but hydrate once again on the client, which is pure overhead, if your site doesn't need full blown SPA interactivity. The hydration step requires much data to be serialized into json. So duplicated content will be sent over HTML and JS. Plus, we need to take into account that it both takes time to download JS and parse JS and execute JS, which is blocking the main thread..
For building websites I want to check out Qwik, which is super new, and Marko.js, which is not new at all :)
Plus, I wanna check out Go!
I kinda of want to learn Mint Lang. It's not super new, but it's starting to gain enough stability now that it might be a pretty nice alternative for front-end. I really dig the approach they're taking with type-safety and such.
Eleventy... I was curious about it, I'm currently learning it now and I'll be writing articles about it
Followed you to make sure I see them when you publish!
That means I can't back out now 😅
FYI: Eleventy vs. Astro
Absolutely nothing wrong with 11ty …
How about web3
Still trying to get my head artound haskell; its fun tho 😅
PyTorch/FastAI
Machine Learning is of increasing importance. More importantly we need to work out how it can provide value to customers. PyTorch and FastAI abstract the hard stuff away to provide simplified interfaces for real world use.
Vue
Not exactly new, but new for me. I evaluated the various libraries and frameworks for client side development and settled on learning Vue because of its lean learning curve.
We use FastAI for some spam detection on DEV — really incredible technology.
..... Whoops, I got that mixed up in my head. We use FastText. Different tool — point remains.
Vue was the first frontend framework that just clicked for me. It’s been my go to for years. I really didn’t feel the need to learn React, but the industry being what it is… I finally started to learn React. I still love Vue more though.
Same here! Vue has been so lovely from my experience, even more with the composition api now.
Had to learn React for a job and it's also pretty easy to pick up but not as neat as vue is. It does also have some nice things that I'd want in vue tho.
