There are so many options out there... So... Many... Options!

Elm is a programming language geared for web application development that yields very lightweight and fast apps.

Preact is a framework that contains a lot of the core functionality that React uses but it's a much smaller package.

Mithril is a library in JavaScript that can be used to make thin frontends as well...

Not sure if Durandal/Aurelia can be considered lightweight, but that's another framework you could utilize. I've used it before in combination with Require and it made developing an MVC frontend pretty easy.

There's obviously the popular ones like React and Angular, but I think most people wouldn't consider those to be lightweight.

Lightweight might have been an unfortunate word choice. In the end, I would mainly work on one-page/one-function projects. I may need to make an edit...

Nevertheless those all looks great, I will have a look, thanks.
