Dear front end devs

Please chill w making new languages and frameworks that re-solve solved problems. The internet is working fine as it is.

Warmest regards, Matt

Matt,

Marko was created over a decade ago at Ebay.

One of its core dependencies is morphdom, which has been used successfully by a slew of frontend view libraries like Marko, including Phoenix LiveView.

Please chill. In general.

Use cases are not all equivalent.

Ignorance is boring.

Nope. They are pretty much all equivalent. Browsers render HTML. This is a quite-solved-problem. Is there a scenario that can't be handled by the tools we've had for years? The web just doesnt require another paradigm. There is way, way too much tooling for a not-that-complicated problem.

Also... if Marko 10 years old, where's the news part here?

Same post, in fact they are having the same argument we're having. At least the bloat is consistent.
