Amen, less is more. I think certain programming languages and ecosystems just naturally attract these huge, convoluted stacks, and I don't necessarily mean JavaScript, but UI programming in general. This shit has all been tried before. If you're familiar with .NET, let's just think back to the atrocity that was / is .NET Webforms + .NET AJAX.
I think it's sad that certain people think that a frameworks like WPF or AngularJS are "great" or even "decent enough", it just shows you how abysmal the current state of UI programming really is.
- NicoJuicy 12y agoSo how would you do it any better? AngularJS and WPF are both great for their porpose. How much longer would it take if they had to write Apache Cordova/Ionic from the start? How much longer would you create a website without Bootstrap or jQuery?
- kitsune_ 12y agoRegarding the web, I'd start with functional paradigms and immutable data structures. I'd avoid monolithic stateful frameworks such as AngularJS.
