> devs need to understand, at least conceptually what the framework is doing (or attempting to do) without too much magical BS
This strongly aligns with how I like to learn, and is one of the reasons (besides lack of need) why I haven't touched JS thus far; everything seems to focus on the revolving door of frameworks, but it isn't clear as an outsider if any of them are "purer" than the others. The reason for asking about this one in particular is that at a glance, it appears minimal and clean - but I suppose that doesn't necessarily correspond to it being an idiomatic example of simple JS done well.
