I wish they would replace JavaScript with something that was made for what it's used for. JavaScript should have died years ago.
Sometimes it's hard to detach It, specially dealing with web dev.
The browser expects JS, since JS was made for the browser, so you make a front in JS. But now you need a back, and hey, you already have all models and repos in JS, might as well make the back with JS.
It's a vicious cycle. Honestly, JS is fine for either if you are component enough (ie. not using stuff like "is-number"), don't get the hate on It.
No, JS is for scripts, it should have never been a whole framework for a frontend. But we can't get away from it now, because it's the only thing we have for browsers.
What do you want to use for frontend framework then?
python, ruby, java, C? Invent a new language?
you will see me screaming "X is for Y, it should have never been a whole framework for a frontend"
Anything, as long as it's not a bunch of scripts which form a framework after you downloaded a terabyte of shady dependencies.
React it is then 😄. It only has 2 dependencies:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/react?activeTab=dependencies
Static? I mean for most of the web it honestly seems like the move. HTMX?
