Bah! First time I saw VanillaJS was when I was learning JS for the first time. Wasn't that confusing. Vanilla is used to mean bland/unmodified across industries (real vanilla taste is delicious and complex though!). It was clearly meant to be a joke, and it is funny. Some people are too serious 🤷♀️
That's exactly what I was saying ... but, hard to get my point across when I have 40+ years programming and have been using JavaScript almost since it's inception.
The only "problem" with the site is the misleading of "who uses VanillaJS". It's like "who uses Assembly? -> everyone" even though only a very small percentage of coder directly work with Assembly.
I am indeed curious if anyone community or company, at all, attempts to uses VanillaJS :D But I guess the answer is probably no.
Actually, I've worked with a few companies that only use Vanilla JS ... they use something like Require JS to put it all together.
Site is hilarious, but based on sarcasm. Sarcasm is essentially a passive-aggressive remark, which is aggressive toward some target. In this case, the targets are numerous. For example, complicated frameworks/libs or compile-to-js things. Being that some people make and/or like these things, they are going to be aware of the humor but more honed in on the aggression part.
Yeah that website cracked me up! I haven’t seen it before but it was a great short read 😂😂
Sums up my feelings completely.
