Hello, I'm Dirk Levinus Nicolaas from Indonesia.
I am nobody, I just want to know about javascript, which is so powerful that web pages can do anything.
I just started learning after this age is almost advanced, just spending old age.
But the more learning the more confused, because of the many libraries, frameworks or whatever the names like require and define are increasingly dominating, so they lose the basics of javascript itself.
for example, I found that in the Github program it was good but only with a line of $ (function (.. blah ... blah ... blah, I was forced to include jquery because it contained one word .attr (...).
Because I only study as a hobby, I just try to learn pure javascript, because if you want to learn the library and framework, it only takes time, even though this age is already advanced.
It turns out that only with pure javascript, we can create our own library and framework ...
Your opinion?...

Keywords: "I don't like Framework, library or Require and define"

sandris-

but why you should invent a wheel? reuse existing stuff and build ideas, not frameworks which exists :|

Oh sorry, actually I don't understand about the meaning of framework or library, what I know is that frameworks are like React, Vue or typescript and others ... and libraries are collections of functions like Underscore, jquery and others.
I'm sorry if I'm still blind in this discussion, but I really want to find out a lot about pure javascript that can empower html pages.
If I research Google that is very well known, it turns out that it relies on pure JavaScript for the client side, but the way to access the resources is rather complicated and spread across several sites.

Actually I want to study,
