It’s honestly nuts that so many developers continue to try to make software using a bloated JavaScript framework and thousands of Node dependencies.
That might also be true but that misses the point - programming is not engineering; nothing is done to an engineer’s preferred standard; and probably never will.
It’s like being a CNC Technician and complaining about how 90% of stuff on store shelves is plastic. A metal gallon of milk would be so much more durable! Less milk would be spilled from puncturing! Production costs, and how they go downstream, are being ignored.
(Edit for the downvotes, dispute me if you care enough, but literally nobody other than computer programmers ogles your clean code. Just like how nobody other than CNC mechanics are going to ogle the milk carton made on a lathe.)
