ExtJS -> JQuery -> React -> Web components; technology never sleeps. Developers like John Ressig (JQuery) pioneer the way, then eventually, the slower language standards committees and browser engineers incorporate the “best of” features. Just one example, ES6 modules. For myself, to really master React I first learned, and used jQuery. We all stand on the shoulders of giants, ‘nuff said 🖖
