@polotek@social.polotek.net @agocke@hachyderm.io Chromium DevTools have a very similar flavour: TS + Lit, almost nothing else. Extremely close to the metal: https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/devtools-frontend/blob/main/front_end/ui/components/tree_outline/TreeOutline.ts There's a reason the successful tools developers use all day to build their React front-ends are not using React themselves, and it's not "legacy", it's taste and skill.

    @polotek@social.polotek.net @agocke@hachyderm.io One final point in this area to back up points you made in the thread: there are zero teams with sizeable apps that have identical tool chains. "Industry Standard" is a lie managers tell themselves and their peers to cover for their ignorance and fear. The only apps that share configurations are overgrown toys *that should not be built in client-side JS in the first place*

    @slightlyoff@toot.cafe @polotek@social.polotek.net @agocke@hachyderm.io I think it can bring benefits even in small teams, but you're right it takes a high level of proficiency to get the gains at that scale. I am thankful to be working with a team with as small a stack as we can muster (similarly TS+Lit) and am looking forward to keeping it that way. Frameworkless web dev is a thing, and it's amazing the complexity of apps you can build and the speed at which you can build them when you work close to the platform with a skilled team.
