It occurred to me once that for the typical front end dev, there are 4 data types being dealt with, disregarding individual chars which don't have a whole lot of use on the internet at large. Now, someone who is using a framework of a framework is going through AT LEAST 4 translations. High level framework -> low level framework -> javascript -> machine code via the runtime.
4 data types, 4 languages. Just in the UI, not even talking about the server and the database.
Perhaps the trend is a reaction to poor language and framework design...
