Transitory technologies

Most of the JavaScript frameworks seem to be transitory technologies. They exist to fulfill some perceived gap in the web browsers' capabilities. Once those gaps.are filled, their reason for existing fades.

Probably the two strongest pieces are Web assembly and Web components. We also have webgl. It seems hard to imagine that a virtual DOM and another event model on top of the event model that already exists, are the right way to deal with these technologies.

The only question is how long it takes.
