Frameworks like Angular, React and Ember are par-for-the-course for complex web development these days. Over this decade (Angular was first released in 2010) they have grown to become defacto standards for many of us, helping countless organisations to structure their code, manage state and build complex UIs, based on reusable components.

However, as you might know, JavaScript is our most expensive web asset — the most likely to negatively impact our pages’ interactivity. And we’re shipping more of it to our users than ever. The average web page is now over 3MB, bigger than the size of the original Doom game! We may have fast networks and cheap data plans but our users may well not.
