2009-2012 was the time of post-jQuery, with a lot of discourse around better alternatives to that (e.g. underscore.js, backbone.js).

React was released in 2013, which sparked a lot of offshoots. Vue came in 2014, and Angular in 2016, which I would say is the earliest point where you could see a significant drop in the activity.



IIRC the front-end JavaScript frameworks had considerably less coverage than node.js projects.

2011-2014 was the time everything that could be written in js was written in js. Didn't matter if it was a good idea, I just loved the energy here!
