The frameworky code is under 100 lines of code, heavily inspired by what I think is a good idea from React: "components are pure function", the simplest example of the about page beeing visible here: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/blob/master/pub...
Since the whole project was migrated over from React, I was able to improve performance to a degree that would have been impossible using React, it's a breadth of fresh air to open the performance and memory tab and to be able to optimise things from there to get 60FPS no matter what whilst preventing massive ram usage because those frameworks runs all sort of code that is out of your control. Also because there is no build system, I was able to introduce plugins to be able to patch frontend code via patch applied dynamically by the server to create features like the recall button to recall data stored on glacier when using S3, dynamic patching of the icons to apply branding and many other things that I would have had to fork entirely before
Anyway, I hope our industry would go more often the vanilla route, es6 is ready for prime time and solve all the pain point we had while internet explorer was still a thing
I hope this becomes common knowledge! There was a period somewhere between when the web platform didn't have good tools to make web applications (plus DOM manipulation was slow) and the mainstream adoption of es2015 in browsers when it made sense to do things like create a virtual DOM to allow for unavailable features at the expense of performance. It did have its place, but we don't need it anymore.
Remove a layer. In 2025 ES6 is ready for prime time, indeed.
