alt Hacker NewsIs there any front end framework that doesn't do this? I dropped out of the front end years ago, and it seems to just get worse every year with a profusion of confusion. Doesn't anyone yearn for back when we didn't have to build the front end at all?? Just emit some HTML and serve up some JS files from the backend, and everything just flows from there?
Someone go make an AI rewrite of Apache+Mod-PHP and sell it to zoomers as the hip new thing already please

What do you use?!

React, if you are judicious about what additional packages you use on top of it.

This has actually gotten somewhat better in recent years starting with esbuild which made it possible to use a simple single-binary tool for bundling.
