> Something that can go from a backend handlers straight to terse markup for reactive UI would be a massive simplification to all this, and a big productivity boost.
I do this for custom software I build for clients, mostly on the backend though[1]. Started it two years ago, have rapid velocity and, without AI generally take 30 to 60 minutes to implement a new feature that touches backend persistence and front end UI.

[1] I did a show HN on a tiny front end component that gets the most use, recently, I think. ISTR most people in the comments said they they preferred React, a few said it was not novel enough to be a paper (they are correct. It isn't). You can see it here: https://github.com/lelanthran/ZjsComponent/
I'm not really in the mood to open up the whole stack I use yet, I still make money bu having a low effort way to build web apps, and due to the way it works it requires a fraction of the tokens required when actually using AI assist (output for the last time I implemented a backend call from scratch was 10 lines, most of which were comments).
