"It has been two and a half years since the previous major release of React, which is a long time even by our standards!"
As a mostly Python and only occasional JavaScript developer, it always felt like the biggest challenge in the JavaScript community was how fast everything moved - new libraries, frameworks and ideas would tumble past at the rate of one every few weeks, and it felt impossible to keep up.
I've been feeling that a lot less recently, and maybe the fact that React has been steady for 2.5 years is part of the reason.
