- Code Assistance - GitHub Copilot and similar tools
- Personalization - Tailored user experiences
2. Edge Computing
Moving computation closer to users:
- Faster Response Times - Reduced latency
- Better Performance - CDN-based rendering
- Cost Efficiency - Optimized resource usage
3. TypeScript Dominance
TypeScript has become the standard:
- Better tooling and IDE support
- Fewer runtime errors
- Enhanced developer experience
- Industry-wide adoption
4. Server Components
React Server Components and similar approaches:
- Reduced JavaScript bundle sizes
