This.
In one of my previous job, the main product was 100% pure Javascript (using AngularJS), with a few (vendored) third-party scripts, and it was very nice to work on it.
No package.json, no dependency issues, and above else, the workload we had was always related to business, and almost never related to external technical constraint such as a depreciated dependency.
- RUnconcerned 2y agoI... don't think that AngularJS + third-party scripts was what OP meant by plain Javascript.
- leosanchez 2y agoAnd I wouldn't say AngularJS v1 is nice to work with either
- mablopoule 2y agoIn general I would agree, but this project managed to avoid the main gotcha of AngularJS (the performance issues & the possibly messy data-flow), so it was holding out suprisingly strong, even pas the maintenance date of AngularJS. The lack of pre-processing steps, combined with good CSS and a well-formed DOM made it one of the rare project in my work history that didn't create any rewrite-envy. AngularJS or not, the main point is that avoiding piling layers of tooling that might force you to an upgrade for purely technical reasons was a nice experience.
