JavaScript has always been the first choice of developers amongst since its whether it's for frontend or backend. Other languages may overcome at many instances, but the engines power full and sleek design always attracts tech folks now and then.
It's because of this that developers and engineers invest hours in building tools and methodologies to improve the development processes; whether it be ECMAScript or frameworks like React, Angular, etc the race never stops. Most of them are marvellous pieces of architecture, yet many fail to get off the ground within a few days of rollout.
Today I’ll be discussing a similar framework Drishti JS Dev Site, which promises a lot, but only time will tell whether it joins the elite group or falls into the bin.
The founding developers claim to be a full-stack universal framework in nature, allowing developers to write applications either in a conventional way (HTML + JavaScript + CSS) or use a component-based architecture NPM Install.
The UI CSS editor might be a boon not only for developers but also for those who might want to change the design quickly on test or higher platforms without coding. One that was missing for a long time. The compiler is so beautifully designed that it handles different files individually without altering updates made at the UI level. Though I would have loved it more if the editor could be dragged throughout the UI, which currently sticks to the right end.
The one-app converter button in the UI is also a beautiful feature introduced, though such a feature had been introduced before for numerous frameworks, but Drishti JS has outperformed them completely. Though one might still need the respective dev tools for final tweaks, 90% of the conversion is handled by the framework itself.
The system is also sleek and has built-in functions and hooks to alter the application as per the need.
Though it claims to be fully secure, I would have admired it if the architecture had separated client and server-based handling rather than one instance for all. The CORs is also great; I tried connecting to a Python-based framework, and the results were surprising.
Altogether the frameworks' architecture, fast compiler, and great UI tools might make it superior to the others, but whether the industry accepts or rejects it, only time will tell.

Their CSS editor is out of the box but some lags are present in UI, hope the future versions have these fixers.
