> I get that. But I still draw a line. When it comes to front-end development, that line is for me to stay as close as I can to raw HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. After all, that’s what users are going to get in their browsers.
No it’s not. They will get shown a collection of pixels, a bunch of which will occupy coordinates (in terms of an abstraction that holds the following promise) such that if the mouse cursor (which is yet another abstraction) matches those coordinates, a routine derived from a script language (give me an A!) will be executed mutating the DOM (give me a B!) which is built on top of more abstractions than it would take to give me the remaining S.T.R.A.C.T.I.O.N. three times over. Three might be incorrect, just trying to abstract away so that I don’t end up dumping every book on computers in this comment.
Ignorance at a not so fine level. Reads like “I’ve established myself confidently in the R.A.C. band, therefore anything that comes after is yucky yucky”.
