This really isn’t worth reading. The author is trying to stir up controversy without making substantive points. For example, the ES6 the author wrote is a scapegoat file with pretty bloated design that wouldn’t pass a code review. Additionally, the author isn’t comparing bundle size, but rather LOC without dependency size which is baffling.<p>If you read the replies you can find people who trivially write better versions using ES6.
Post E6 I personally think that Javascript is good enough to raw dog.<p>Producing code that isn't locked to a single framework or library is its own reward.
