It’s not complicated, you kids are just spoiled.

JavaScript I was paid to write in 1995 had a shelf life of 6 months given Netscape’s release schedule and I had to compete on performance with Delphi 3 native compiled code.

If you think web development is too complicated these days, you should just dump it all and write cgi scripts in Perl again.

Or if you’re an academic, Smalltalk + Seaside.

If there is a problem with modern web development, it is the curse of too much choice. Focus on your end goal, and the choices available will become a blessing, not a curse.
