It's funny, react reminds me a lot of J2EE (and other enterprise frameworks) in many ways. A very large and complex framework, with lots of moving parts and additional stuff that needs to be glued in to make it all work.
There is a reaction against this happening right now. You can see it in hotwire from 37signals, Alpine.js and my own response to it: https://htmx.org https://htmx.org

- lostcolony 6y agoReact feels more like the Spring Boot response to Angular's J2EE. But yes, I prefer the microframework approach.
- recursivedoubts 6y agoYeah, that's a better comparison.
- zach_garwood 6y agoI recently tried advocating for using htmx for our frontend, but had a hard time even articulating what it is. Calling it a framework seemed disingenuous because, well, HTML+HTTP is the "framework," htmx is just an extension on top. At the end of it all, we went with InertiaJS with a component library -- not a bad alternative in its own right -- but I was hoping to do away with the frontend/backend distinction entirely. I hope I get to use your library in production someday, tho! Nice work!
