Ask HN: Is 2022 the year of web components? [front end web dev]

I've been out of the loop for awhile, but back in 2017 I was a big fan of Polymer by Google (web components utilizing shadow DOM.) At the time there was a feeling you didn't need frameworks if you had components you could use like html tags. In 2021 I got back into it: I took a look at Blazor. Ok, that's just web components, where the file name is the component name. I took a look at Svelte. Ok, that just web components with reactivity. Svelte looks like the inspiration for Blazor. I took a look at Angular. They have components now or did they always have components? I took a look at React. Look, they're starting to use Polymer type components inside React components. I took a look at web components, not longer called Polymer it seems, and wow, they've made a lot of progress. Salesforce.com is a big user (a company I respect for their tech) and Google itself is a big user. Google says Web Components are everywhere and I'm using them a lot without knowing it. So have Shadow DOM components arrived? https://ift.tt/3fgTnpL
