it is okay to just… not use any JS framework. i am sometimes just startled at the assumption from so many pros that you *need* one.

you can just.. write plain JS.
it won’t hurt. I promise.

frameworks are a relic of a time when cross browser differences were so dire you needed some abstraction.

now you kinda only need that for the newer APIs that have differences still like storage, and audio. these APIs didn’t exist at all when frameworks started and aren’t even addresses by them.

we have es modules now. free yourself from the shackles of your build systems

Am I saying Never Use Frameworks?
Am I saying Never Use Components?

nope. I am not. get yourselves a reading lesson.

lotta people coming here just to tell me they hate javascript.

just FYI, i muted you because i don’t think you will have anything interesting to say ever.

not that javascript is perfect or the best language, but you do realise all programming languages are terrible right? and the only reason you like some more than others is because it’s what you’re used to?

@zens ... and each language gets more terrible with age, thanks the freeping creaturism and the need for backward compatibility.
