If you want to develop a web app completley in Java, Vaadin is a great framework but nowadays, companies prefer Javascript over Java for frontend, particulary reactjs. I didn't know much aobut LitElement, will check that out. Thanks

Vaadin comes in two flavors. Flow is filly Java and Fusion that uses LitElement and the client development is in Typescript. Vaadin is very modern as it was overhauled three years ago

Hi Simon, I was curious how popular Vaadin is out there in the job Market. I'm working on an application deploying Vaadin. I'm wondering if this is something I should study more. Most of these other languages/frameworks I know are quite popular.

Vaadin is not as popular as Angular or React. Probably because it's not a traditional JavaScript frontend framework. But there are many companies using Java that are also using Vaadin. Often they also use other frontend frameworks, so it's s good advice to also have an idea how these work.
