Abstract
Since the emergence of the first web development frameworks at the turn of the 21st century, many of them have made a name for themselves and rose to wide popularity only to be later ousted by newer frameworks and sometimes even fall to obscurity. In our paper, we would like to depict the last fifteen years of the changing popularity of web development frameworks by observing the number of newly created repositories in open-source projects hosted at GitHub that were based on them as well as the number of questions posted on Stack Overflow regarding the respective frameworks. We analyze the correspondence between these two indicators and put them in the context of the popularity of the programming languages that the respective frameworks are based on, as measured by the TIOBE Programming Community index, in an effort to check whether one source could be used to forecast another.
