Nicely written codebase but I can't get past the fact that they use JQuery...

  Exactly...

  I'm the tech lead for the NHS website (www.nhs.uk) and I oversee the team who are building this frontend library. I'll be making sure we remove our jQuery dependency when I can. For now the team is simply aiming to get to an MVP that we can iterate on :-)

    What does the backend stack consist of?

      This is a very difficult question to answer comprehensively because our "website" does a lot more than just present information to people! Most of the content you can see on www.nhs.uk is Python/Django/Wagtail plus a whole heap of infrastructure. But there are aspects of our service written in C# or JS for example.

  I don't understand the problem with it? If your needs are simple why would you drag in the JavaScript meme of the week?
