Salaires des développeurs JavaScript back-end 2017

Pourquoi Next.js est-il adopté si massivement ?

… tableau avec React et Vue. Les chiffres montrent qu’Angular perd du terrain. Svelte et VueJS lui prenne du territoire chaque année. Stack Overflow montre que React n’embarque pas systématiquement Next.js React y est mentionné par 44,7% des développeurs alors que Next.js grimpe de 17 à 20,8%.

Le bundle JavaScript est devenu difficile à découper,
