Усталость от JavaScript 2.0: Убивают ли современные фреймворки веб-разработку?

Помните тот экзистенциальный кризис в 2016 году, когда вам нужно было выбрать между Angular, React и Vue? Пристегнитесь, потому что JavaScript Fatigue 2.0 уже здесь и он пришёл не один, а с друзьями. С запутанными названиями вроде SvelteKit, Remix, Astro, Qwik и примерно 47 различными способами отобразить простое «Hello World» на сервере. Утомление от JavaScript — это подавляющее, иногда парализующее чувство, которое испытывают разработчики из-за стремительных изменений в экосистеме JavaScript.

Introduction to TypeScript Programming for Frontend Development

Welcome to the world where JavaScript finally gets its act together! If you’ve ever spent hours debugging a mysterious undefined is not a function error, only to discover you misspelled a property name, then TypeScript is about to become your new best friend. Think of TypeScript as JavaScript with a really good therapist – it helps identify problems before they spiral out of control. Why TypeScript? (Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Type Safety) Let’s face it – JavaScript is like that charming but unreliable friend who promises to meet you at 7 PM but shows up at 9:30 with a half-eaten pizza and an excuse about traffic....

Webpack Wizardry: Squeezing Every Byte From Your JavaScript Like a Pro

Ah, Webpack - the digital equivalent of a burrito wrapper that somehow contains your entire fridge. We’ve all been there: you start with a simple index.js, and before you know it, you’re shipping a 5MB bundle to display “Hello World.” Let’s roll up our sleeves and transform your bloated bundle into a lean, mean, JavaScript machine. The Art of Bundle Feng Shui Tree Shaking: Not Just for Bonsai Anymore Modern Webpack (v5+) comes with built-in tree shaking, but it’s about as subtle as a chainsaw in a library....
