Hi, good post providing an interesting approach about the troubled history of JS frameworks for the last 15 years.

I can't help but try to link it to my current activity involving reactive programming in Java/Spring ecosystem. There is a paper from 1985 "on the development of reactive systems" (Harel & Pnueli) which already highlighted some interesting properties about this paradigm stating notably : "A reactive system does not compute or perform a function, it maintains a certain ongoing relationship with its environment. "

While i'm unsure how to link it to your post I can't help but feel a relationship. I also notice this tendency of JS frameworks to go forward the principles of the reactive manifesto (2014) : message driven, elastic, responsive and resilient architectures.
