To be clear though, npm and yarn have not abandoned semver. Semver is still a good way of expressing dependencies. It's just that there are enough cases where it's not sufficient, and that's why lock files are in fashion this season. The underlying semver data is still there though, which is different to the sort of package manager which only records installed versions.

AWT wasn't native either - it just had one ugly appearance and couldn't be themed. I seem to recall it kind of resembled Sun's CDE (Common Desktop Environment) so it would have look sort of at home on Solaris.

It never gets turned into HTML. It gets turned into JS, which, eventually causes calls to `createElement(...)` etc. to happen.

You are writing declarative code that says what the UI should do. It is NOT - and I cannot stress this enough - a "template langauge" in the same way as Handlebars or PHP. There is no string interpolation anywhere.
