The JavaScript ecosystem describes the diverse sum of communities, tools, frameworks and libraries which take part in modern web development. In this talk, we want to take a look at the current state of the different JavaScript sub ecosystems surrounding common JavaScript libraries and frameworks and how they developed over time. We’ll see how “convergent” and “divergent” evolution of these tools have shaped the JavaScript community and are affecting the way in which we build software for the web today. Finally, we’ll see how a rich and diverse JavaScript ecosystem not only benefits the performance of the applications we are building and provides us with the best tools for our job, but also how it enhances our productivity and happiness as developers by consistent knowledge transfer.
