The good, bad and ugly of JavaScript

When was the last time you have written a full application just using vanilla JS? No Angular, No React or Vue, just plain old JavaScript.

Do you think people start building applications using frameworks like Angular, React, Vue without understanding the fundamentals of JavaScript?

As an intermediate or expert developer, given a chance to return to vanilla JS, which book would you choose as a reference to know the good and bad parts of the language?

Let's find out the answers to the above questions here:

Hi there, we encourage authors to share their entire posts here on DEV, rather than mostly pointing to an external link. Doing so helps ensure that readers don’t have to jump around to too many different pages, and it helps focus the conversation right here in the comments section.

If you choose to do so, you also have the option to add a canonical URL directly to your post.

Last time? Quite recently actually. Challenged myself to write Tetris from scratch using no frameworks or libraries, and without using the Canvas element
