It's not a herculean task... I agree, until you've learned 10+ (angular, vue, svelte, wordpress/php, jade templates, laravel, underscore/lodash, handlebars/mustache, hugo, etc..) of these "super simple templating languages"! And keep them all straight. I have no problem learning a new language if there is a compelling reason. But If it's just additional shit I have to remember for no clear reason... No thanks...

We can have a debate on unidirectional data flow vs 2-way binding, how each framework manages state changes, how opinionated each framework is... How mature and vibrant each developer community is... etc. These are all another discussion though. My question is why must we reinvent the wheel again and again.

You need to stop insisting that a wheel has been reinvented with Svelte. It shares 95% of the same DNA as other frameworks, with multiple improvements over them. So with that in mind, what you're actually suggesting is that the existing offerings were somehow perfect, and we don't ever need to improve on anything again. That is an absurd notion, especially given that the other frameworks have gone through MASSIVE changes since launch -- sometimes even complete rewrites, because they acknowledged they got it wrong the first time.

So you want all of these to be a universal-template-language - (D)HTML ?
