you’ll cover 90% of web3 use cases with this 2025 stack: 1) networks: EVM chains (ethereum, polygon, arbitrum etc etc) 2) dev environments: hardhat or foundry (hardhat is still great, I’d stick with it if you already know it, otherwise, if you’re starting fresh, I’d start with foundry) 3) libraries: ethers or viem (for typescript and, especially react, I’d use viem + wagmi) only if you master these I’d consider moving to sol/anchor or zksync/starknet or experimental networks like aptos or abstract

be ready to interview for a position working with <insert-any-new-coming-js-framework> with no experience in that framework the release of svelte 5 makes it clear that JS frameworks are not only copying each other but agreeing on what a "final form" would look like svelte's runes ($state, $effect) makes it look more like react (useState, useEffect), or more like vue (ref, watch) or... like knockout.js (observables)?! we are all heading in the same direction and this is great news for front devs who will be able to quickly jump between frameworks! image from: Fireship's youtube channel

react native's latest release is the best example that with the right motivation anything is possible they literally 10x'd the library's performance through a complete rewrite. the new architecture is more "react-like" with suspense, automatic batching, layout effects — things that are becoming standard in web. why now? it's known that RN apps are a bit laggy and dropping frames. anyway, the typical user won't even realize it, while... frame rates drops can actually make you sick in VR! now that Meta gets deeper into AR/VR, upgrading RN become a priority! from my understanding, this new architecture has been in the works since 2018. however, never shipped and RN was left in an ambiguous state. im thrilled to see the team efforts finally being recognized and getting a better platform for developing apps, especially for VR👀 https://reactnative.dev/blog/2024/10/23/release-0.76-new-architecture
