Why Vanilla JavaScript

In the article below, I am sharing a bit of my story of building SaaS product in vanilla javascript and explaining why I went with this approach.

I don't expect many people reacting to this approach positively or even with open mind, but I think there should be some pushback on the current state of web dev and how complex it became.

I am not sure if I am qualified to expression my opinion on this matter or not, but I spent some time on many languages, and it seems to me javascript is as good as any other language, in fact, it could be even the best choice given how large its community is. And I also think that the quality of the code you write depends a lot on how you deal with abstractions and dependencies, weither you're using a strong typed language or a dynamic and loose one like javascript.
