Before I start this rant I want to say that I appreciate authors who put work into trying to solve hard problems. These are hard problems and I think at least trying to make a step in the right direction is a good step.
I feel like we are approaching the problem of frontend development complexity the wrong way. These new frameworks and domain specific languages fail to cut through the complexity of the real problem and instead mask the complexity with shiny new frameworks. These frameworks still all suffer from the same problems.
There are deeper issues that need to be addressed. The fact that their landing page doesn’t work well on mobile is evidence of that. Assuming it was created using Mint.

- gdotdesign 7y agoI think you are right about that. Mint is not a solution of the whole front-end development but a part of that, it tries to solve the problem of single-page applications specifically. > There are deeper issues that need to be addressed. The fact that their landing page doesn’t work well on mobile is evidence of that. Assuming it was created using Mint. Actually it's not created in Mint and that it doesn’t work well on mobile is the evidence that I didn't tested it thoroughly :D
- ScottFree 7y ago> There are deeper issues that need to be addressed. That's true, but those can only be addressed by the browser makers and the standard committees. It's hard, slow work that will take years to bear any fruit. Frameworks are ways to experiment with the web environment we have available to us today.
