RawJS is a better way to call document.createElement()

Whenever I see projects like this, I'm convinced the authors have never worked on actual large-scale frontend projects and teams, especially not for a meaningful amount of time. It's telling when people say "React has gotten too complex."

This might be good for "Squares", but I am not looking forward to having to explain to the new bootcamp grad why this would ruin any sort projects of size.

RawJS author here.

I've been working on said large scale projects for 20 years.

Thank you for your positive encouragement.

Not according to your LinkedIn you're not. I'm talking real scale, hundreds of developers and millions of users. Hell, even midsized companies like Redfin, Grammarly, Brex, etc would suffer using something like RawJS.

Seems fine for hobby projects though.

RawJS-style development (using whatever library to accelerate document.createElement) becomes more appropriate the more divergent your UI is. This is the kind of thing I've found myself working on over the years.
