Abstract

Dominasi JavaScript dalam pengembangan web modern telah menimbulkan diskusi luas di kalangan pengembang perangkat lunak. Bahasa ini digunakan secara luas pada sisi klien dan server, dengan dukungan framework populer seperti React, Vue, dan Node.js. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi opini publik mengenai dominasi javascript dalam ruang diskusi daring. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan analisis isi berbasis tematik. Data diperoleh dari empat platform digital utama yaitu github, stack overflow, medium, dan quora dalam rentang tahun 2023 hingga 2025. Sebanyak 120 kutipan opini dikumpulkan dan dikodekan ke dalam tema-tema utama seperti kelebihan javaccript, kompleksitas tooling, dukungan komunitas, serta kritik terhadap perkembangan ekosistemnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun javascript mendapatkan banyak dukungan karena fleksibilitas dan komunitas yang kuat, isu seperti JavaScript fatigue dan kompleksitas teknologi juga menjadi sorotan. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi dalam memahami bagaimana opini publik memengaruhi dinamika adopsi teknologi web.

Kata Kunci: JavaScript, opini publik, analisis tematik, pengembangan web, komunitas daring.

Abstracts

The dominance of JavaScript in modern web development has sparked extensive discussions among software developersThis language is widely used on both the client and server sides, supported by popular frameworks such as React, Vue, and Node.js. This study aims to explore public opinion regarding javascript’s dominance in online discussion spaces. The method used is a qualitative approach with thematic content analysis. Data were collected from four major digital platforms—github, stack overflow, medium, and quora—spanning from 2023 to 2025. A total of 120 opinion excerpts were gathered and coded into main themes such as JavaScript's advantages, tooling complexity, community support, and criticisms of its ecosystem. The results indicate that while javascript receives strong support for its flexibility and community engagement, issues such as javascript fatigue and tooling complexity are also frequently mentioned. This study is expected to contribute to understanding how public opinion shapes technology adoption dynamics in web development.

Keywords: JavaScript, public opinion, thematic analysis, web development, online communities
