Ya, kinda like how all template languages (go-template, handlebars, jade, TT, JSX, etc.) have their own DSL. With Hibiki you can get by with only understanding the basics and then calling backend AJAX handlers to do the rest of the work. If you want to go deeper and put more functionality on the frontend or create advanced generic components, then ya, you'll have to invest more into learning the framework. Most of the backend engineers I've worked with have no problem writing HTML, AJAX handlers, and using template languages. But they won't touch webpack/npm/babel with a 10-foot pole. Just trying to bridge the gap to get a little more pizzaz into their tools :)
