I hate it when I ask about a way to solve a very specific problem in js, and people be like:

"You should use this x library, it has the y utility that will solve your problem right away"

"And don't forget to bundle it all up with browserify, to get all libraries in one file because http2 is still not adopted. You will have to envify your build so the minification will remove the unused code and reduce the footprint. Oh! But envify doesn't play nice with browserify, you should change your complete build process and swap it with webpack! The documentation is terrible but once you dig through all the headaches you'll have a perfect build system after two months and you can continue with your project!" 😂

Long live Vanilla!

I set up an angular2 website the other day. I had to use ~20 dependencies to make angular2 hello world page. I'm still not sure how to release that to production the best way, without breaking stuff. I probably need another 15 libraries to do so.
