Why jQuery lasted

  • It is still on a terrifying number of pages because WordPress plugins and old dashboards never die.
  • The $() brain is how a generation learned the DOM.

Why Laravel lasted

  • It made PHP feel like a modern framework again: artisan, Eloquent, the docs, the people.
  • Taylor Otwell as a steward plus a conference circuit is a distribution machine.
