"60 million weekly npm downloads (up from 20 million in 2021) In use in 4.2 million GitHub repos use TypeScript 80%+ of the top 100 npm libraries ship with TypeScript typings. TypeScript isn't replacing JavaScript; it's just how developers write JavaScript now. Most codebases are authored in TypeScript and then compiled to JavaScript (the same way Sass compiles to CSS). You get type safety, better tooling, autocomplete that actually works, and AI coding assistants that perform 20% better with typed code."
"Tailwind saw massive adoption in 2025, while styled-components and other runtime CSS solutions fell out of favor. Over 617,000 live websites are using Tailwind now, and it's become the default styling choice for modern React apps. The "writing inline styles" criticism died completely; I think everyone now defaults to Tailwind; its use is no longer up for debate."
"2025 has been a roller coaster of emotions for frontend devs. The past calendar year featured insane improvements around every corner, massive security breaches, and framework reinventions. We saw AI dominate headlines and change the way we build applications. And some big names (TanStack, CSS, TypeScript) brought forth major updates that open up new possibilities for 2026 and beyond."
2025 brought rapid, wide-ranging change to frontend development, combining major feature advances, significant security breaches, and framework reinventions. AI became a central force, altering developer tooling and application workflows. Major projects such as TanStack, CSS, and TypeScript released influential updates that will affect future development. A ranked approach prioritized frontend moments by community buzz and lasting impact. TypeScript experienced dramatic growth in usage and ecosystem typing, improving type safety, tooling, autocomplete, and AI assistant performance. Tailwind achieved mass adoption and became the default styling choice for many modern React applications.
