But all of that is optional stuff for the web, even though it isn't presented as such. You don't actually need a transpiler, bundler, fancy libraries etc to write interactive programs for the browser. You really can do everything in an HTML file with some html, javascript, and some css. You can draw pictures declaratively with svg, or programmatically with canvas. And so on. You can see some nice work done in this way in places like codepen.io
