Maybe in a distant future, but why are so obsessed with the anti-framework sentiment? We don't shy away from a framework when coding in Node, PHP, Java…

Is there something about the web — with its eternal backwards compatibility, crazy array of implementations, and 3 programming languages — that seems like it's the ideal platform for a framework-free existence?

Maybe if we bake all of the ideas into JavaScript itself, but then where does it stop? Is PHP done evolving? Does Java, by itself, do everything as well as you want out of Spring?
