It’s interesting to see [what features JS devs do and don’t use](https://2023.stateofjs.com/en-US/features/), [changes in library popularity over time](https://2023.stateofjs.com/en-US/libraries/#tools_arrows), [what build tools people are using](https://2023.stateofjs.com/en-US/libraries/build_tools/), the [divide between JavaScript and TypeScript usage](https://2023.stateofjs.com/en-US/usage/#js_ts_balance), and much more besides.

[How React 19 (Almost) Made the Internet Slower](https://blog.codeminer42.com/how-react-19-almost-made-the-internet-slower/) — Even changes that are planned in advance can have big effects on the developer experience if people aren’t aware of them.
