Just build everything in C, but remember to build your own compiler!

Everyone should know ES6 before they use frameworks and know how to build a webpage without a framework. I used to think like you about this.

Then I realized that predominantly writing JS instead of HTML made me a better developer away from the front end and stopped me from questioning my life as pointless.

I know how it all works from assembly and binary to the headers on http requests, how packets work, sockets and machine learning and frameworks like React will keep a person that likes programming more than document making less likely to contemplate drinking themselves to death...

I'm overreacting (pun intended) a bit, but it is the way things will go, and frameworks are only evil if that is all you know or care to know.
