I feel the same way. And since you can write a cruddy jQuery mess that fetches data and spits out to backend-as-a-service providers, Javascript is hands down the easiest way to go from nothing -> project others can use.
The ecosystem is in a bunch of growing pains right now, but if you don't care about maintainability and scaling up to a large project, just throw up an HTML page with some styling and javascript that makes it interactive.
- djfm 10y agoI have a feeling the ecosystem is becoming, err, slightly less worse :) My react redux babel boilerplate has not changed in about a year and I strive to stay up to date. Once you can write a webpack.config.js without looking at the doc you're all set :)
- vcarl 10y ago100% agreed. Webpack 2 is going to be a fairly sizable change, but for the better. I've been following the webpack meeting notes, pretty excited to see where it's all headed.
