I never liked React. I'm primarily a backend developer, and preferred server generated HTML with a sprinkling of Javascript. It may sound ridiculous to some, but I miss the JQuery days. For newer projects I'm looking at Elixir / Phoenix / LiveView and HTMX.
- ilrwbwrkhv 2y agoLook at Imba. If you are strong enough to avoid cargo culting and try things which aren't popular, they are some of the best ways to build frontend apps out there: https://imba.io/ https://imba.io/
- icedchai 2y agoThanks. It looks interesting and I will check it out.
- YetAnotherNick 2y agoNo need to miss jquery days. If you want jquery you can use it now. I know at least some companies use it even for greenfield projects.
- icedchai 2y agoI'm fine with using it for personal projects. For anything with a larger team, they'd probably look at me like I was crazy if I suggest anything that didn't involve React, at least in these parts.
- cies 2y agoHasn't JS caught up with jQuery mostly? * x-platform (that was a big thing in jQuery in the beginning): solved in JS * DOM selection (not as elegant w/o some aliassing, but still): solved in JS * making XHR: solved in JS * building plugins: solved in JS * method().chaining().style().of().programming(): not in JS That's mostly I think.
