It should be noted though that Rome is not a project by Facebook. It's by Sebastian McKenzie (@sebmck), who started working on it as a side project while working in Facebook. But he's working in Discord now. And the project is totally owned by him.

#12Where's Backbone, Ember, Coffeescript (the OG transpiled lang), HTML5, CSS3, WASM, ect, etc. The road to today is paved with many influential projects.
The fact that these weren't even mentioned in the text after the diagram was disturbing to me.

#13A low key ad for Rome imo. I thought the title was a metaphor for the JavaScript empire into its current state not the name of a new library. Nonetheless seems worth checking out

Sure, why not.
Cool, lets see if it works out

No, Rome is a tool chain that is supposed to replace your separate tools for linting, building & testing.
So you might use it with your React app to get rid of eslint, webpack & jest (at some point, it's not there yet).
Svelte however is an entirely new framework which is fundamentally different from react/vue/angular in some very interesting ways (which I won't get in to here).

No, it wants to be your one stop shop:

Yeah. Im surprised that both of these left out Prototype.js which, to me, seems to be the father of these client-side libs
