As someone who hasn’t done much JavaScript since AngularJS in 2014/2015, what is the current state of JS like?
I see there’s Angular (not AngularJS that I worked with), React, and some other frameworks. I see there are all kinds of bundlers and plug ins for these things.
When I was doing AngularJS, I’d just link to a few dependencies manually from a CDN. Looks like now there’s a bunch more complexity and package management for front end dependencies.
It feels like FAR more complexity, but I’m not sure what has been gained. I also don’t know that much, so would love to learn perspectives here from people actively developing in this space.
