Web Applications Without Frameworks

An airhacks.fm conversation with Ben Farell (@bfarrellforever)
about: copying and pasting game programming logic from magazines
into a TI 994a, the ugly purple people picker, accidentally buying
Java books, boring C++ without visual elements, dangerous assembly
classes, Macromedia Director in 1996, developing with Flash,
suddenly in 2010 Flash lost its popularity, writing casual games
for kids, a thick book about LiveScript, JavaScript is just Java
with a bit script, Java was great and the visual stuff was boring,
writing code in key frames, Adobe Flex, Adobe Flex Builder,
typesafe ActionScript, GreenSock, GreenSock started with Flash, the
book about WebComponents, plain vanilla, no thrills, JavaScript,
developing applications without a framework, potential migrations,
stable React, JavaScript becomes more and more similar to Java, CSS
3 without less or Sass, plain lit-html and hyperhtml as fallback,
template literals vs. lit-html, partial rendering with lit-html, no
virtual DOM, possible security issues with plain template literals,
lit-html and event binding, lit-html vs. custom attributes for
wiring, separating templates and business logic with modules, bad
experiences as Java developer with maintaining multiple files, CSS
extensions with houdini, a standard for hooking into browser's CSS
processing, is there no more need for frameworks?, frameworks as
hindrance, the Vaadin Router webcomponent, building a navigation
component, the magic under the hoot comes with good intentions,
building fusion reactors for CRUD, using custom elements for
application structuring, the reflection best practice, shadow DOM
is supported on all browsers, shadow DOM is problematic with CSS
design systems, Constructible Style Sheets to the rescue, start
without Shadow DOM, then introduce it on demand, customizing styles
with CSS properties, using IDs without Shadow DOM is hard,
ShadowDOM with querySelector, Adobe Project Aero, browsersync in
development mode, obsolete build systems, bunding with rollupjs and
babel plugin for legacy browser support, pikapkg - the
anti-bundler, 2005 EMMY for Sesame Street Games Channel, cheating
with annoying Elmo, WebComponents in Action (discount code:
podairhacks19): a book about making WebComponents without a
framework, outdated Polymer, VR and AR with WebComponents, a-frame,
Occulus Quest and Tiltbrush,
