A brief introduction to JavaScript and Architecture
summary
Claim: pick architecture from required quality attributes not popularity, because frameworks carry their own architectures (examples: Angular React Backbone), and many articles list 20 or 100 frameworks so filter by needs. Uses ISO 9126 and Simon Sinek’s Golden Circle to extract the real “why.” No code or design patterns appear. Concrete tradeoffs include a C++ 500‑line function that is fastest but unmaintainable, and choices driven by budget, team skill, and portability.
