Productivity with Plain Vanilla Web Components

An airhacks.fm conversation with Robert Brem (@bremrobert) about: JavaScript was worse than GWT, Swing over SWT, ES 6 / ECMAScript 2015 changed everything, ES 6 looks like Java, MDN is like JCP for specs, ES 6 does not come with usable templates, lit-html and hyperHTML close the gap, WebComponents over ReactJS, AngularJS (Angular v1) was nice, Angular applications were hard to modularize, why the Angular airhacks.com Workshops at Munich Airport were "interesting", core.js developer searches for a job, nobody cares about dependencies in the frontend, Google Cemetery, Angular comes with two releases a year and follows semantic versioning, core.js is a "Modular standard library for JavaScript", rollup.js is a ES 6 module bundler, what happens if something breaks, why it can take two days to invoke a Java method, one super Web Component is reasonable, mapping redux to BCE structure, preventing frontend dependencies with CI/CD audits, structuring code after domain responsibilities, it is impossible to create a template with business structure, Semantic UI for styling components, Custom Events are used for communication, using CSS variables to style ShadowDOM, loading CSS per BCE package, Angular Elements, replacing Custom Elements with home grown code, Robert Brem on twitter: @bremrobert
