Marko – An isomorphic UI framework similar to Vue
I&#x27;ve focused on backend for the last 7 years or so, so I&#x27;ve been kind of out of contact with the frontend world. Recently I started working on a personal project, and I thought it would be a good time to learn some of the modern tools people have been using for frontend dev.<p>I was completely baffled by the myriad of options out there, how complex they look (note I&#x27;ve been working on very high performance, distributed backend applications, so complexity on itself is not an issue), and how it&#x27;s very unclear when to use any one of them or what each one is good for. I tried Angular and React, and both feel like almost a different language. You have to learn their internals to work effectively with them, and it often looks like they create more complexity then the original complexity they were trying to reduce. I have no problem learning new things, in fact, I love it! It just feels like there are other things to learn that will stick around for longer - JS frameworks&#x2F;libraries seem to be very hype-driven these days. What are your thoughts on this?
