I'd extend this to suggest vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and CSS is a great choice for recreational game development even if you aren't using React:

- Extremely forgiving syntax, great for quickly hacking around with concepts

- Shareable for effectively free via static sites to any modern device

- Live-reloading tools are ubiquitous

- HTML/CSS provides a significantly better styling & layout framework than any OpenGL UI toolkit
