Show HN: I Moved from AngularJS to Plain JavaScript with Route.js and Include.js

Hey HN,

I've been wanting to move away from from JavaScript frameworks and use equally powerful libraries with a fraction of the bandwidth cost, and recently did so with my game engine's GitHub Pages site.

I wanted routing still, and markdown to HTML conversion, since I'm pulling from .md files on our GitHub wiki section.

Here's what the website looks like now:

http://planimeter.github.io/grid-sdk/

And here are the libraries I wrote to make the transition:

https://github.com/andrewmcwatters/include.js

https://github.com/andrewmcwatters/route.js

https://github.com/andrewmcwatters/data-marked

Did you evaluate ReactJS too? If so, what are your suggestions?

For me personally, I feel like JSX is a dramatic step away from standards, and at this point, I like to stay away from tooling as much as possible.

JSX is nothing more than a convenient layer of sugar over JS. It's fine to avoid it, but IMO it's not really a "dramatic step away from standards".
