Everyone wants to removed about JavaScript. How about using languages like Python and Java to create websites? You have to use an entire bloated framework and compilation just to be able to use a language that was never intended to be used for websites. Java web frameworks are atrocious.

The experience of using these JS frameworks is not comparable to using Java or Python as if they were PHP. There's tangible (and monetary) benefits to using web tool for the web.

Right. JavaScript is a web tool and is used for the web. The other two I mentioned are not, yet they don't get anywhere near the same amount of hate as JavaScript does. We get it, JavaScript has loose typing and was primarily a scripting language 30 years ago. Things change. JavaScript is a robust language capable of OOP now, and you can even add typing if that's your hangup

Maybe for Java but Python does have Flask, which is anything but bloated.

Django, from what I heard, may be a bit bloated, but, from what I heard at least, it has some very useful tools
