WTF? WordPress is a JavaScript framework? I was at the very first launch party by creator @photomatt in San Francisco. Did I miss a memo ? If that's really so? I'm going to need an EMT cuz I'm throwing myself off the balcony surely missing the pool? SMH

What is your favorite JavaScript framework and why is it WordPress?

Probably a SPA now after they released that new “REST” API core.

it's kind of funny to see restful development now but that's okay with me. Again I'm not a big fan of the single page application but you know I'm really beginning to think we made a mistake we didn't know the kind of form factors would be dealing with come 2006 and Beyond LOL

REST, “REST”, RESTful, RPC, CRUD, or hypermedia? It’s so hard to know what people mean by any term related to Roy’s dissertation anymore.

I'm not a fan, SPAs are boring to dev, hobble me as a user, and the content is so obfuscated as it changes with few to no server requests. I get seizures from ocular fatigue, and cognitive fail while crawling over content barriers. It's so painful I want to ressurect Adobe Flash!

I delayed my response to avoid going on an anti-SPA rant. Code on delivery is a great concept, until you use it to tunnel and avoid the _intentional_ constraints of the overall system architecture and break all the expected and established interaction patterns. 🤬

That's a rant? We must meet. I'll give you some lessons on how to rant 😂 there are restful approaches I like and find useful. I've used WP for blogs since its first launch. accessibility challenges are all over the world wide web. I struggle more now because health and age.

🤣🤣🤣 That’s the “time giveth the ability to control mine tongue” rant. I am however always open to learn from experts 🤣🤣 What I find funny is that API / accessibility / reliability / observability are all resolved by the same almost invariably skipped design processes.

It is pretty amazing that all you need is some content basic good knowledge of HTML some CSS styling skills and real JavaScript or find someone that writes real JavaScript it's the Frameworks that bother me as well as the emphasis on profit over quality
