What do you want to use for frontend framework then?

python, ruby, java, C? Invent a new language?

you will see me screaming "X is for Y, it should have never been a whole framework for a frontend"

Anything, as long as it's not a bunch of scripts which form a framework after you downloaded a terabyte of shady dependencies.

React it is then 😄. It only has 2 dependencies:

- react
    - loose-envify
        - js-tokens
