yes and no, the two big issues are that a) the SPA has to work within the very poorly documented render loop, for lack of a better term, of the browser and b) Javascript has some very idiosyncratic idiosyncracies and lacks some basic language functionality that is present in most languages

Please explain what’s poorly documented in current browsers render loop.

ok, if a div is added to the page body, and then another div is removed, what does the render loop do? any pointers to documentation are appreciated :)
