> by the JavaScript ecosystem and 'needing' to keep up with the latest tools/frameworks/libraries? The struggle to keep up with JS feels more like a meme to me than anything else. I've been a professional front end dev for 5 years and have never felt this alleged pressure. There hasn't been a new player worth noticing in the front end framework space in years. Tune out the noise and learn the fundamentals. Choose tooling that does what you need out of the box. You don't need to know everything to get started.
