Tangentially related: Is there any "framework" that simply loads a webassembly executable and then has it directly manipulate the entire web page being displayed to the user by the browser ? Presumably while keeping a websocket open to the server host.
Damn, i really want this. On another note, is it even possible to manipulate the DOM directly from WebAssembly with no JavaScript glue code? Seems like a pretty good opportunity for a new "modern" framework.
My org is heavily invested in Ember and it sucks. We're into it for purely historical purposes. It was chosen by devs 2 generations past. It's not a terrible framework conceptually, but being invested in anything niche or out of fashion is such a burden. No one knows how it works, can't hire for it, updates are rare, hard to find integrations. I would not venture outside the mainstream if you can't afford to take big…
I was very keen on Ember for a long time, loved the batteries-included nature, generators etc. The closest thing React had was Next.js, and it was (still is) heavily restricted by its router. Although this is now changing. Ember really lost momentum though. There were a bunch of releases that literally had "no changes". I think its time has just passed, sadly.

PHP: I think you need to add Symfony to your list
When I worked at the BBC I was working on their notifications widget in the top nav bar. This would live above the fold on every BBC site, including News, Weather, iPlayer, Sport, etc. Therefore it had to be extremely small in bundle size, but I still wanted something nice and component-based so the code resembled something modern at least. I ended up choosing Riot.js. Worked pretty nicely for the niche task I had fo…
What do you think of svelte for that task? I'm building something similar
Now it’s more about applying certain principles, such as CA and preferring simplicity over dependencies.
I’ve tried some web frameworks and found them easy to get started with but they carry so much bloat and unnecessary cruft.
It’s way easier for me to consider my code responsibilities and build simple software that is easy to test, painless to maintain, and finally simple enough for anyone new (or a newbie) to pick up with what they know, without having to learn the nuances of the framework.
With that said I’ll say my favorite popular framework is phoenix. I was studying elixir five years ago and used phoenix to build a few simple apps. Great community and documentation.
Javascript: SvelteJS Using it for some personal projects with Vite and it is a breath of fresh air. I use React for work during the day, but coding in Svelte just brings me joy.
React is really grinding my gears, lately. Do you use something t like Redux with Svelte or is the approach different?

I've been looking into Remix ( https://remix.run/ ) to build javascript web project. I come from 10 years of Python/Django background and I want to avoid complexity of frameworks such as React particularly the headache of state management. Remix seems to use an approach similar to Hotwire Turbo Frames and a syntax of React JSX. This allows creating composable pages and loading partials in a page while still being abl…
Also, the really aggressive marketing campaigns they do really puts me off.
