Websites do the same thing as 15 years ago? Not true, websites can now exceed desktop apps. Was their figma 15 years ago?

20 times more complex - this comes with doing more. 15 years ago there was no CI/CD.

Write CSS - don’t have to given Sass, components, and bootstrap.

Performance is worse - look at v8 benchmarks, look at webgl and Wasm. The browser itself can run much faster today, and people are doing more with it.

JS barebones - just one package. https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib. - and the node ecosystem is a feature not a bug.

Look elsewhere - every other UI framework we’ve tried before has been worse in terms of compatibility, functionality, flexibility, and available prebuilt tooling.

MLHelper: Algorithms and utils for Machine Learning in JavaScript | Nov 2017
I want to point you to https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib. You can use it for the lower level utils. There are almost more matrix utils in the js world then there are devs. Let's stand each others shoulders.

Let's standardize a little more than what lodash/underscore does.
