Agree, but the article was about comparing React and Backbone.

There are a gazillion of options that resolve the same problems: Vue, Svelte, Solid, Lit, etc.

Backbone was born as better code organization on top of jQuery and CoffeeScript. It never attempted to solve these issues.

I think Backbone was a bit before Coffeescript.

Haha, coffeescript was so hot for a minute

Both (Backbone and CoffeeScript) were created by Jeremy Ashkenas.

He had a very prolific year.

Don't forget Underscore!
