Angular is really bad. So is Redux. They are some of the worst over engineering projects I've seen. Typescript is really cool, but no one on that team cares about "compile times". Of course what I actually mean is "type checking time". There are very few good things on npm. React has the right idea (The DOM is slow, so let's put a "virtual dom" infront of it so we minimze our interaction with the DOM), but the implementation could be a lot simpler (and smaller). See "preact" for example. But I'd go further and question the whole "Class components" and "function components" and "hooks". Why not just functions that take arbitrary arguments and return a vdom tree? You can easily add constructs for caching return values if none of the inputs changed since the previous run (some system like the 'observables' from Knockout or 'atoms' from Jotai/Recoil). esbuild is really great, it completely changed my development experience. The interesting thing is it's not written in Javascript at all. It's written in Go.
