Building front end apps has become more complex than it used to be 20 years ago to effectively output the same html.
Granted there is a level of interactivity that is different for the complexity, mostly I look forward to the grand complexities of todays frameworks to continue to simplicity and be approachable.
- wildrhythms 5y agoAs soon as you need to 1) render a list of widgets asynchronously, 2) update widget #182 of 250 without re-rendering the whole widget tree, you start to realize that these front-end frameworks have solved the problems that we used to spend hours writing fiddly and confusing jQuery functions to address.
- j45 5y agoNo doubt. Still things get more complex before they get streamlined. Frameworks like svelte, vue, and even flutter to a degree feel different than react when putting together similar experiences in some cases.
