I don't know. I like small and minimal, synonymous with Fabrice Bellard (TCC and QuickJS!), and I am glad the herd of elephants wasn't dragged in the door! But then again, I am not a front end dev or a full-time coder; I have been coding since 1978, and I don't only reminisce about small OS's and programs, but I think there should be an alternate path on software dev focusing on minimalism. I program in APL/J for starters, and C and Lisp (April at the moment, a subset of APL in Lisp), so I am happy to play with JS using QuickJS. I tried React, but it just exposed my non-front-end eyes to just how layered and large these ecosystems have become. I guess when that's what you work with all day, it's so familiar you take it for granted. I'd love to hear thoughts on this due to my ignorance on the matter. Thanks!
Any pointers to discussion on what JS/DOM features it's missing that React needs?
