No experience with Ficus but others. I'd been trying to avoid that ceremony tooling/build step too. But, modern JS I've realized that's wasted effort. Embrace the suck.

I LOLed. I have had pretty good luck with Vue and jsdelivr. Would not call it speedy, but easy to get students going and runs on Glitch.com

My current favorite is RiotJS. One can still prototype things w/o ceremony in a single static html page + the tags to prototype

Have you tried esbuild? It's still a build step, but it:

1. Works more or less out of the box. You'll maybe need to set 5 or 6 CLI arguments but that's it

2. It's super speedy (sub-second in our case)
