Should I learn and use Angular 1, React, Angular 2, Ember or something else? What are the common features they all share? How are they different? Are there "better" frameworks that will be popular next year? I will show a couple of new approaches that should be part of any future-proof framework: reactive streams for managing the data flow, virtual DOM abstractions for speed, testability and performance tools built right into the framework. The presentation might be controversial, but the struggle to pick "the next best thing" is very real.

First, I will talk how unproductive are arguments "framework X vs Y". Then I will talk about features that are only now appearing in the web frameworks:

- DOM abstractions for performance reasons (moving virtual DOM computation into separate thread using WebWorkers)
- Modular design for smaller size (we can start small, or we can cut a large bundle)
- Hydration using ServiceWorker to speed up the startup times
- Offline support
- Universal rendering
- Reactive streams as first class objects
- Functional purity
- Real time support instead of "turn-based" abstraction
