Is jQuery dying?

From time to time I read on the web how jQuery is dying, how is not recommend for learning, and how node and vue are more popular and powerful. So I'm asking is jQuery really slowly disappearing from web and should we skip learning query and focus more on a node, vue or react???

My advice: dont bother with jQuery, if you will learn JS properly you can always pick it up incredibly quick, it's the same thing with frameworks - they will come and go but JS will stay... Just focus on learning JS deeply :) And whatever tool you will have to use you will be able to pick it up in no time. I never touched jQuery, but I opened their docs just out of curiosity... I got it how it works in few mins as I know what happens under the hood.

I hope so. People need to stop using so many unnecessary garbage scripts on their website.
