This sums up my feelings about the js ecosystem entirely. Lots of growing pains.
I've felt for a long time that every industry shift on the long road from simple server-side rendered monoliths to client-side heavy js SPAs we have taken a step forward in what is possible while taking multiple steps back in so many other dimensions (simplicity, security, dx, etc.) I think by the end we will be in a better place across all of these but it feels like we have been crawling out of a hole we dug ourselves to get there.
- cutler 4y agoSadly, I don't share your optimism. If the current state of JS isn't proof enough that it is doomed to be forever reinventing itself I don't know what is. Layer upon layer is a recipe for disaster which soon becomes apparent with these new toys once you require more than "Hello Word". I'd rather be saddled with Spring Boot than have to wade through the quagmire of current JS frameworks.
