For what it’s worth - vanilla JS is pretty darn good and if you’re only dipping in for some small functionality I highly doubt a framework brings much benefit.

- jfengel 11mo agoI find vanilla JS unusable for anything bigger, though. It was designed for quickie scripts on throwaway web pages, but it's not great for anything you'd call a web app. Typescript, however, does scale pretty well. But now you've added a compiler and bundler, and might as well use some framework.
- grebc 11mo agoRight tool for the right job. I’ve written some pretty complicated vanilla JS and it works fine. I’m not dealing with other people crappy code however so YMMV.
