Finally getting around to learning #React. It's pretty nifty, but also makes me sad how many layers of abstraction we have now in #web dev. Back when the equivalent was #jQuery, I could take students with no experience up to the point of being able to do some pretty cool stuff. Implementing the same things with React requires more programming know-how, along with setting up a fairly intricate dev environment — stuff like npm and vite that are anxiety-inducing for students with no CLI exposure.
