Every time I touch JS (and especially bundlers) I'm reminded of what an incredible pain in the ass the entire ecosystem is.
I'm never going to use a JS framework for a new project again. And while I'm at it, fuck it maybe I'll never use Typescript again either.
Either use an actually typed language (Rust), use something enjoyable (Ruby), or at a push, write some plain vanilla JS.
Word.
Preach 🔥
I'll happily take the other side of the bet for "I'll never touch a JS framework again"
Writing Ruby is such a joy
I actually miss writing ruby. Somehow my last few projects always demanded python.
hi fellow js frameworks and typeshit hater ✌🏻
I couldn't agree more. I miss Elm. It was a bit too clever for its own good (à la Scala), but for a brief moment I actually enjoyed front-end stuff. Everything since Elm has felt downhill.
Still, it’s somehow less terrible than Python. I genuinely have no idea how anyone gets anything done in that language.
JS frameworks are like the Hotel California. You can check out anytime you want ...
Vanilla!
JavaScript ecosystem is peak fiat.
It would have never ballooned into what it is without big VC funded tech companies during a ZIRP.
If this is a frontend and React problem, use Remix. The experience is very good and the whole bundler madness is abstracted away.
