I have an actual need for some JavaScript interaction in a site I’m making for the first time in … well, I can’t remember. Maybe ten years?

So I go looking for ideas on what to use. Found a few things decrying react (wasn’t on my list, but ok) and a few things explaining that the new hotness is server-side rendering of entire pages, and fetching blocks of HTML to insert into pages rather than complex state management.

Okay, exactly like I built websites in 2010 then?

So I downloaded jQuery.

@norm depending on what you need to do, and whether you need to support older browsers, vanilla JavaScript without a framework is fine now.
