There’s an abundance of “learn to hack” material already out there, but:
It can be dry and academic

So this intrigued me. Javascript - Free Javascript library.
It seems to be suited for static sites and server rendered applications.
The goal of it is to allow for client side interactivity and decrease the overhead.
this would be effective with EJS
