Opinion from me, a JS beginner: Vanilla is good enough now. If your IDE lets you type common structures like
document.getElementById("")
with shortcuts, I find no need to use a framework. Also, vanilla works better in offline projects.How is that related to TS? Aside from the fact that your comment might have just started a civil war (no, vanilla JS is not "good enough", they created libraries for a reason) this isn't about using libraries / frameworks. It's about needing some system to handle type annotations to avoid falling in the bottomless pit of:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property of undefined
I literally don’t know what TypeScript is, lol. But the video says that Vanilla is an alternative to TS and I am a happy user of it. I thought it was some enterprise language that compiles to JavaScript for people who cannot handle
document.getElementById("")
but will happily add an abstraction layer on the wonky HTML-CSS-JS mess, just to have the compiler create really weird undecipherable minified JS... But I already said I'm inexperienced – don't take advice from a$
hater whose biggest working website is this.then perhaps you should learn about it before you offer your opinion
