Welcome to a world where web development meets superhero fandom! It's no secret that building websites and applications can seem like a formidable task, similar to combating arch-nemeses on a daily basis. That's why we've turned to the amazing AI tool, Midjourney, to visualize our favorite web frameworks as superheroes.
Stay tuned and get ready to finally met your favorite framework face-to-face. In the end, they rescue us (from the grunt work and boilerplate code) every day :).
React.js - All Hail The King 👑
Let’s immediately start with the king among web frameworks - React.js! With its unmatched popularity and vibrant community, React has won the hearts of developers across the globe. Still, being at the top comes with a price, so we’ll occasionally witness a heated discussion or even a bit of drama concerning king’s decisions.
Author’s note: for the life of me, I couldn’t get Midjourney to draw React’s atom symbol, so I had to settle for this strangely looking R.
Vue.js - A Graceful And Reliable Queen 👸
If React is the king, then Vue is definitely the queen of web development. Exhibiting a harmonious blend of might and elegance, Vue.js has captivated developers worldwide, firmly establishing her reign in the realm of progressive JavaScript frameworks.
Ruby on Rails - The Unyielding Veteran 🚂
Was there ever any other way to imagine Ruby on Rails, the seasoned guru of web development, than in a hardcore steampunk setting? Despite being the granddaddy of the lot, Rails still packs quite a punch, effortlessly fueling web development engine rooms. Sure, the youngsters might have glittering gimmicks, but when things get rough and the job needs to get done, you know who you’re gonna call (now I wish I went with a Ghostbusters theme).
Wasp - A Full-Stack Speedster 🐝⚡️
It’s time to introduce some fresh blood to the squad (picture Tom Holland's Peter Parker). Meet Wasp, a full-stack web framework coming straight from the future. It melds together React, Node and Prisma into a tight, type-safe package and takes your development to super-sonic speeds. Sure, it's still wet behind the ears and learning some ropes, but blink, and you'll be eating its cosmic dust!
Nest.js - The Server-Side Beast 👹
We’ve met kings, queens, and suited-up heroes - now, it's time to unleash the beast. Meet Nest.js, the muscular powerhouse of web development, roaring in the form of a hulk-like figure crowned with a lion’s head. Nest.js is a force to be reckoned with, blazing the trails with its might and resilience in the rough world of server-side applications. I definitely wouldn’t mention I ever used Rails in front of this guy.
🌯 And that's a wrap! Whom should I cover next?
I have to admit this was a super fun article to write. This is also the first time I've used Midjourney, and although it took a bit of figuring things out, I had a blast.
Now it's your turn! Do you agree with the images, or have you imagined your framework differently? Also let me know which incredible framework or a tool would you like to see suiting up as a superhero next?
The stage is yours and I can't wait to hear your ideas!

Ladies and gentlemen, jQuery!

Hilarious.
lol, gotta say he's lookin' a little villainous!
I don’t know if he is a villain or a good hero, but he is definitely old 😁
Haha, ahhh I get it now. That's not a scowl just a an older, serious face. I dig it!
React as a superhero:
haha yes, pretty much :D
We need Svelte
Svelte has to be for Superman lol. Their logo is just superhero look-a-like
yes sir! coming in vol 2. :)
I love every second of this. Would it be okay for me to share this on the @thepracticaldev Instagram account? I would love to shout you and your hard work out!
Of course! :)
Yay! I'll link the post here when we share it! It may be in a couple of days since we have some content queued up already, but I am excited to share this!
Exploring web frameworks through the lens of superheroes is a creative and intriguing approach! It's fascinating to see how AI's imaginative powers have transformed these tech tools into vibrant characters with unique strengths and abilities. Just as superheroes bring innovation and versatility to their fictional worlds, web frameworks empower developers to tackle complex challenges and build remarkable digital experiences. This article not only sparks creativity but also underscores the importance of these frameworks in shaping the future of web development. Kudos to the team for this engaging and thought-provoking perspective!
Appreciate the kind words :)
Why does this look like it was written by ai lmao
Svelte
I agree!
Part 2 when? :D
Coming soon to your theaters :D
If you make an Angular one, would it look like somebody from the stone age? :D
haha that was low :D
Love this
Thanks Ben, glad you like it! :)
cool
Thanks so much!
Thanks, glad you like it! Which one is your favorite? :)
React.js 💙
Spring Boot
This is great! Do programming languages next :)
Nice stuff!
I feel the hero for angular would be a well dressed gentleman.🤔
with a top hat!
Where's Angular? Its logo is already similar to that of a superhero and I remember the first Angular.js website from 2009 having a generic superhero featured on the website, it has to be added!
Spot on Alain, AngularJS was the first "framework" I used :) its coming in vol 2!
That's a fun and imaginative take on frameworks - thanks for sharing!
Appreciate the comment Anthony, so glad you like it! Which one would you like to see next? 😎
Well... as I also use it, let's say Angular.
deal!
