One of the things appealing about the readme.md they have in the manifesto is a list of "doing it without frameworks" articles/talks. This is very appealing to me. I've done a lot of different kinda of programming over the years (embedded C, FORTRAN engineering simulations, years of modeling and ux/tool with Smalltalk, Linux processing and tooling with python, mobile apps in objc, kotlin, and swift, and lately flutter), but I've largely remained aloof of the web. I can skim JavaScript, I get sockets and http (done quite a few protocols over time). Despite all of that, I found web programming very daunting/overwhelming. Every time I dabble, the upside learning curve/awareness just overwhelms me. Maybe because I'm a "dive deep figure out how it works" guy. But this is appealing to me.
