Vanilla JS Gives True Architectural Freedom

Vanilla Javascript allows seamless architectural transitioning from different paradigms, at will.

In order of complexity:

• declarative (no js)
• imperative (js scripts)
• declarative with extra power (web components + js)
• reactive (web component + new Proxy(target, handler) )

Now, a virtual dom is a complex feature of React. But Lichess is built with a virtual dom library called "snabbdom".

The point is, frameworks are gatekeeping us from learning about what's actually possible.
