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

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. То, что начиналось как управляемый выбор фреймворков, превратилось в многоголовое чудовище, которое заставило бы древних греческих героев плакать в свои механические клавиатуры....

The Wild Ride of Web Programming Languages: From Static Pages to Framework Wars

Picture this: it’s 1995, you’re rocking a dial-up connection that sounds like a robot having an existential crisis, and you’re trying to create your first website. Your toolkit? HTML tags that make modern developers weep with nostalgia, and CSS that… well, CSS barely existed. Fast-forward to today, and we’re drowning in frameworks, battling JavaScript fatigue, and somehow still arguing about semicolons. Welcome to the absolutely bonkers evolution of web programming languages – a journey that’s been more twisted than a pretzel factory explosion, yet somehow got us to where we can build entire applications that run in your browser while you’re simultaneously watching cat videos....

The Fallacy of 'Always Use a Framework': When Vanilla JS/Python/etc. is Better

Picture this: you walk into a modern development team meeting, casually mention you’re building something in vanilla JavaScript, and suddenly everyone’s looking at you like you just suggested using a stone tablet for documentation. “But why not React?” they ask, eyes wide with concern. “What about Vue? Angular? Surely you’re not going bare metal in 2025?” Well, buckle up, because I’m about to commit what some consider development heresy: sometimes, just sometimes, vanilla code isn’t just acceptable—it’s superior....

The Great Framework Rebellion: Why Vanilla JS Is Stage-Diving Back Into Development

The Great Framework Rebellion: Why Vanilla JS Is Stage-Diving Back Into Development

The JavaScript landscape feels like a never-ending music festival: Every year, a new headline act takes the main stage while yesterday’s rockstars fade into nostalgia. But in 2025, there’s a surprising encore performance—the triumphant return of vanilla JavaScript. Forget the mosh pit of framework hype; we’re witnessing a full-blown rebellion where developers are rediscovering the raw power of native browser capabilities. Buckle up, because we’re tearing down the wall of abstraction and rebuilding with pure, unadulterated JS....
