alt Hacker NewsSeems to be taking how old frameworks used to work in the old days (download some html/js and run in an closure) and wraps it into webcomponents. Neat, but not sure why its a paper.

I have a very good reason for that[1]. I will, however, concede that this approach might have been used somewhere public in the past, even though I have no knowledge of seeing this approach previously.
A poster downthread mentioned a link that I am going to read up when I have time, that seems like it is the same approach as zjs-component.

Yea, I feel like we are coming full circle with frontend JavaScript. To me this seems like a concept that has been around a while, but it’s being presented as a novel idea. I’m also baffled as to why it’s a paper.
