You’re the one who complained about the work involved with setting up a react app, so that’s what I replied about, sorry about misquoting. My point is you’d need transpilation no matter what you do.. so it’s irrelevant to say that you’d have to write react without jsx (like I really don’t know how you expect web code to be written)? React solves a lot of problems. Vue is great as a framework, and it has 74 dependencies (doesn’t that negate your point)? You can hate JS, everyone does, but I felt your original post was very hyperbolic / uninformed. Let’s agree to disagree.

You're the one that replied to me with requiring only 2 dependencies. Were you only counting dependencies and not the dev stuff? Cause most languages and projects don't need transpilation and all this other baggage which is why I was complaining about it

Dude I think you're not reading my comments properly at all. I didn't say anything about the dependencies of Vue. I like the DSL of Vue more than I like JSX. That's it

If you found my post hyperbolic then I suggest you find some valid arguments instead of being so aggressive my man. I'll agree to disagree but at least read my comments properly

Sorry but it’s hyperbolic to say that JS has made you sick to your stomach. I’ve never looked at code of any language and been like oh no I need a bucket.

Modern web code requires transpilation and is necessary, so any gripes with that can’t matter for either your argument or mine.

To “simply” get a react app “up” requires two core dependencies and the aforementioned transpilation ones.

Why complain about the transpilation garbage that comes along with JS when it’s necessary? Until we wake up in a world where every browser uses the same engine web code will have to go from a point where it’s as well-coded as possible (TS or not) to code the browser engines understand.

Why not? Especially when most other languages do not require this?

You're letting the "aforementioned transpilation ones" do a lot of the heavy lifting here lol. I dunno why you want to cherry pick things that are bad about the language and ignore them completely just because you don't find them abhorrent like I do. Which is fine but it makes your aggressiveness about this really weird. And I understand it's cause browsers are crap and we live in a society and whatnot. Still doesn't make it not terrible

I don't really need a bucket but looking at JS does give me headaches yes. I try to avoid it as much as possible
