I think there is a Dunning–Kruger like effect whereby the complexity of rewriting an open source project from scratch is vastly underestimated the less you know about the scope of the work.

You could make 80% of #inkscape in a couple of months of javascripting. But this is 80% of Inkscape's surface. Not actual depth.

Rewrite it all in #Qt? #React? #JS? #Rust? These are ideas aren't bad. But they are vast projects that would cost millions of dollars.

Software innovation might be freezing in place—and AI could be to blame. Theo Browne points out that Copilot and ChatGPT often return React-style code even for Solid or Elixir projects. Why? Because they’ve seen React a million times more. Python 3 took a decade to overtake Python 2. If that transition had to happen today, would our dependence on AI suggestions keep us from making the jump?

If I want to write a site with vanilla #HTML / #CSS / #JS using #Astro as my #SSG are there any doc sources, projects, general setups, or tips I should know / look to for good reference? Seems like most of the things I see are about incorporating all the various frameworks that I have no interest in. I want to build a fairly simple blog and personal site. With minimal client side js. But I also want the benefits of an SSG especially when it comes to writing blog posts. Do you use or have you used Astro for a similar workflow? How do you like to set everything up?
