This is unfair. HTMX and Alpine could hardly be considered frameworks.
React, by comparison, is absolutely massive. It's complicated. It requires compilation, and often a complex build configuration. You still need a backend server, so it won't obviate Django.
Your comment speaks to a larger debate, but it's a rather disappointing contribution.
- uryga 5y ago> [React] requires compilation technically, but not in the same way e.g. Svelte does. the syntax used by React, JSX, is simple local syntactic sugar: <Foo x={a} y={b}>...</Foo> // ↓ createElement(Foo, { x: a, y: b }, ...) i.e. basically a macro, no real "compiling" going on
- nauticacom 5y agoIf you need to run it through a "transform" step, in this context, it's compiling. What it ultimately gets transformed to, and the implications of that, is a different discussion
