Renaissance? Yup, checks out. I've been waiting for Web Components to become a thing for a loooong time. The (European) Renaissance took two-three centuries - from Petrarch and Giotto to Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael. I suppose we have to wait for another hundred years or so, and in couple of generations we could finally say: "web components is a thing". My grandchildren will laugh at my React-based code, that will happen someday. Right now, there's shit to ship.

I assure you that is happening today, not by your grandchildren, but it's happening.
hon, this has been "happening" at the time when I grew out of my jquery pants, and still was happening when I was going to my backbone.js induced ptsd therapy sessions; Angular has shipped 20 major versions and React made six rewrites, Next.js switched to rust-based compiler and added the app router, making 15 major revisions - and "web components" still yet "happening". It feels when I finally have grandchildren, it is still be only "happening"... Where's the darn promise? Where the heck is the fame and riches? I've been hearing about this shit for almost two decades now. And have not witnessed it. I hope, it is truly around the corner, but I just fail to see it coming.
