Few years ago, I just started webdev and jumped into react after 6 months of doing it without frameworks, My friend sent me an html page, and damn it was just an app.html page which would create JWTs with your secret key and scopes, and it was beautiful, no external css (everything in head tag) no external js (all code in script tags + cdn for token library) it was crazy ! I was legit shocked how compressed everything was no server, no nothing you just open the file, use it and just close the tab.

I dont trust frameworks like react and angular... wich major version numnber is 17.x shows how bad the developers are and dont get it right in the firs time and reinventing and fixing their problems lol... and breaking things... but i agree with ur comment... everytime i see some fancy thing... i sometimes get stuck, because too many abstractions in JS world and frameworks... and i go check how stuff are made.. so i would atleast understand how something is in vanilla or smt... its getting so surreal already that people dont know even, that u dont need libraries for modals anymore or that new nifty things in JS exist like .groupBy() , not entirelyt sure if its meant to be internal query builder or smt? .. its def interesting tho.... :D now reinventing the wheel with hyping htmx ... its still javascript tho. I think people are a biot too concerned about bloat... 90% apps are not giant apps and dont care about dev env bloat... ur build is fast enough whatever framework you use, because a lot of grunt work has been done for you.... people dont even minify css/js manually anymore... i bet some newer than me noob devs... dont ewven know that minificatiojn or obfuscation is a thing... i think i learned to code by my friend saying to me install node.. and type "npm init" into temrinal.... :D my journey started there.. i think i learned thru messing around with Gulp and trying to configure it : )and understand it

jQuery is still used in 73% of the websites because of following reasons: 1. Learning curve of new fancy frameworks are somewhat steep. Developers have to shift Whole mindset to "Reactive" programming. Which can take time. 2. These new fancy frameworks provides too... Much features. All are basically made to build single page applications, and complex user interfaces. So, they're overkill for simple projects requiring minimal DOM manipulations. 3. Setup of all these fancy frameworks requires whole new ecosystem support. It's hard to setup them for production without node and Babel/webpack. On the other hand jQuery requires only one script tag.

[@crunchykarsten8765]

There actually is a problem, web applications should ideally rely on a RESTful API and a purely client based frontend. Writing pure Javascript for a frontend is madness though, which is why jquery was written, jquery doesn't have a rigid enough structure which is when the others started piling up, though in the end none of them really work as intended since Javascript itself as a language is an antithesis to rigid structure.

[@ignoto2010]

@@Andy_Rocket I'm afraid we lost that battle long ago - Chrome is the most used browser (Google) - Variations like Opera/Brave/etc (Google chromium engine) - Safari (Apple) and all iOS browsers including Chrome are Safari Engine (still Apple) - Firefox is one of the few with its own engine, but statistics on analytics are always around 3% - Edge is also Chromium engine (Google) now Apple doesn't have any interests in the web because they prefer to monopolize the ios app store and they play on the interconnection between apple devices, so Safari is always light year behind Chrome/ium So in summary internet WEB belongs to Google. Sad but true 🤷🏻‍♂️ Back in the days of IE and Netscape we were restricted by Microsoft and their browser Next Firefox changed everything and the majority of users moved from Netscape to Firefox. that was the time when we experienced freedom and big improvements Lets keep in mind that WebKit started in linux with Konqueror, but now it's what Apple uses to monopolize the ios browsers store (Apple's version of course) Then Chrome monopolized the web also starting from WebKit and then moving to their own engine. Now that's a "good" thing because they are evolving the browser at high speed (if you follow their channels there's something new every week), but because Safari still holds more than 20% of the users we can't use almost any of the new toys 😅 In an ideal world the engine should be handled by another company and all these whale companies should make use of it, so all changes are always immediately available. but that's utopia and we know it 😂 react/angular/vue/svelte etc are not the problem at all. if the engine was a better product we would have native reactivity and more tools that would make all these external libraries useless

What I would like is to have a fully typed language that runs on frontend. Like Java applet. It's biggest weakness was needing to have JRE installed (Java runtime). But that was a problem 10 years ago. Nowdays it would be simple to include it out of the box in both Linux and Windows. The main advantage would be that we can use the entire arsenal of a easy to understand language AND have the UI be precise down to a pixel. No longer relying on flexbox, automatic resize etc, but simply use the browser as your desktop UI

[@Rudxain]

Petition for W3C to: - Deprecate JS in favor of standalone Wasm (no more wrappers). This is much easier and better than adding a type-system to JS. - Declare MarkDown as a web standard. Seriously, it's ridiculous that browsers render it as plaintext. - Make a DOM-compatible language that has built-in styling, and allow it to be "compiled" to an optimized AST for browser-rendering (only the compiled variant of the lang will be supported by browsers).

Because you'd end up writing jQuery in the end anyhow if you're doing more than what you could do with css (on a basic project/non SPA), unless of course nothing you're doing has ever been done or your tool choices are dictated by popularity/familiarity rather than reason.

Vanilla JS has always been able to do everything jQuery does, that's why it was built on it. The whole point was to get it done moe easily, and most importantly, to get it done the same way across different browsers, specially old ones. The difference from Babel? I don't need to download GBs of dependencies or run console commands in order to use it.

[@edism]

@@TheDragShot indeed there wasn't much point of rewriting methods that are already confirmed to be cross browser compatible back then particularly, the other option was mootools which funnily enough doesn't feature in this video yet it should surely have been included if it were not so ridiculously react centric (neither does handlebars.js, moustache, underscore etc) . When ajax became a thing in fact javascript had enough differences between browser implementations to make jQuery a sensible choice, time spent wrangling with that isn't time well spent IMO.
