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:

- react
    - loose-envify
        - js-tokens
