I like your analogy, but I think it's a little off. HTML/CSS/JS are "Java" and React/Angular are "Spring." I love writing vanilla js, but the problem that the frameworks are really solving for is stripping away the history of HTML/CSS/JS for a 'document oriented web' and present a "re-abstraction" for an crossplatform 'application oriented web' that just happens to live in the most dominant VM platform (the browser). In the analogy, Assembly is WebAssembly, and C is C. We just don't have the frameworks and libraries written for them yet! --- Edit: ...but yeah you're right it's Svelte. Although I hear that Angular also compiles down to something pretty "close to the metal" these days.
