csjs

t has been great as well. It's what I wish Backbone views had been from the beginning. We certainly aren't wanting for choice. Between the dozens of Flux implementations, React alternatives like Mithril, interesting languages like ClojureScript (with Om if you want to keep using React) or Elm, multiple typing systems, and even WASM on the horizon - web development is an exciting field. It's also overwhelming, and I say that as someone who keeps his head in it over 12 hours a day. --- Re: CSS, the story still feels incomplete. I want a way to write a library that will effortlessly import its own styles, so consumers can simply import the component and go to town. Most solutions are severely limited, slow, or both, mostly because they rely on inline styles. Nothing's wrong with inline styles, until you want to do :hover, :active, pseudo elements or the like. See the React material-ui project for a very real example of how this can go wrong - note how every component has a dozen or more extension points for styles. I built a project with this recently and it was intensely frustrating that I couldn't simply add some CSS to the app to fix styles across the board - I needed to keep a giant file of extensions and be sure to apply them every time I used a component. And, of course, component authors can't possibly anticipate every possible use, so some of my selectors were ugly "div > div > ul > li:first-child" monstrosities. CSJS (https://github.com/rtsao/csjs) is one of the few solutions I like. I would be very happy to see it, or something like it, go mainstream.
