current mood: wait holdup
React is way better than it used to be
what the hell
you can do as much compile-time, server or client rendering as you want
managing state is much less of a pain
you can do everything in React the standard ways now, including old-school scripts and stylesheets as well as Web Components
browser (extension) injections work, React will automatically trigger a re-render
like sure, React is still built over the idea of having its own, parallel DOM and event loop, but
it's kinda impressive to read on its progress, particularly on React 19
so uh
worst case scenario, I guess I can live with React and Redux Loop
