You mean react make the code more readable but basic fundamental of JavaScript should be cleared first.

I want to know what you prefer Vanilla JS or React JS, what you feel easier to work with regardless to make it readable for others.

Vanilla js. I use a lot of recursion and functional programming and if I need to get something down on paper I like JS as a "sketch pad" as I don't have to recompile after every tiny change. As for readability, to the framework its readable. But outside that, no. Its still on large generated spaghetti. Not ragging on it for that fact, it just is. As for React, I personally wouldn't use due to the URI security concerns I have with it. I developed medical applications using nodejs for embedded systems and as much as I liked the project, JS has no place around the embedded world. It just doesn't, there are too many error for a lot of mission critical applications. Thats why the Military on large still uses a x86 everywhere critical. Northrup Gruman and Lockhead Martin get chubs if you know the instruction sets well.

It sounds like you have a whole Dev article you could write about this and issues you highlighted before. I would be interested to read about your experiences

I did a couple write ups today, one on regex and the other on a recursive and dynamic, async matrix builder you an analytical pen testing client I scrapped recently. I'm still trying to get the writing part down. These were the first tech tutorials/article I wrote ever. I'm planning on starting a small multi-part series on Kotlin. My story is honestly so absurdly outlandish that I don't know how it would be received.
I literally had a $50bil company try to sue me over tweets and get spooked when I accepted and initiated pro-se proceedings. I also uncovered a massive illegal surveillance campaign being carried out by the NSA and Verizon wireless where I have an open com channel to how they scrap their customers phones. But I've had a lot of extremely strange and unfortunate circumstance opportunely come up when attempting to launch internal federal investigations into regulatory agency malfeasance. So man, if I had the right opportunity to tell it to the right people I totally would.

I wish you very best of luck my friend and hope one day you get a chance to tell it, all the very best, Stephen.

I think it’s a better story to continue building cool stuff and talking to cool people in a dev community like i’m doing now. Take it easy, Stephen. It was a pleasure talking to you
