Yahoo announces stop development of open source JavaScript tool Library Yui

Yahoo! Official blog announced the end of the development of open source JavaScript tool library Yahoo User Interface Library (YUI). Yahoo! Developers explained that the industry trend has changed. Over the past few years, the Web platform has undergone drastic changes, almost ubiquitous today's JavaScript. the advent of node. js allows JavaScript to be used on the server side, as well as new package managers such as NPM, build tools such as grunt, application frameworks, test tools, and so on, making the large JavaScript ToolPak such as Yui no longer as before Community's attention. most developers today see large JavaScript libraries as walled gardens they don't want to be locked down, as a result of the growing scarcity of problem reports and pull requests from Yahoo in the past few years, and the lack of active maintainers for many of Yui's core modules, as well as very few reviewers who submit patches. Yahoo can only make tough decisions to end development, but Yahoo will still maintain the existing procedures to fix serious bugs.
