A solid overview with some great tips.

One recommendation is to change the mental model here. In my eyes it isn’t “don’t use a framework”, it’s “build the framework you need”. It’s tremendously easy to set up an extension of HTMLElement that has 90% of the functionality you’d want out of react. My SPA non.io is built like this - one master component that has class functions I want, and one script for generic functions.

The last 10%, OTOH...


Get the first 90% easy, the next 90% is much harder.


so hard that React is still working on that final 90% after 10 years with 90% more to go now that they think a compiler is the solution for the current mess.
