+Frameworks and libraries

+While reading the discussion_ “Why I hate frameworks” I think
+I’ve seen The Light™. I have finally recognized what is my
+biggest problem with the current style of the Web development
+(and consequently Firefox OS development). It is all about
+frameworks.
+
+Where do I see the distinction between frameworks and libraries?
+What I really want to do is to write program in whatever style
+and structure I want. Only that would be too much work to write
+everything myself (and in some cases, e.g., where numerical
+stability is concerned, I would need to study one or more
+universities to be able to write it), so I am glad that I can
+call on some libraries to help via their exactly defined APIs
+(and stable! I look at you, NodeJS & co.). However, still, I
+decide about the structure of the program and its whole design.
+Frameworks come from the other universe, the one of Microsoft
+Visual Basic and similar attempts, where the framework does
+everything and less-than-professional programmer just fills-in
+details in some text boxes (if available). It comes from the
+similar universe as whole ideal of CASE, RAD tools, UML,
+complicated IDEs (who are mostly ancestors of the Visual Basic
+idea anyway), etc.
+
+Crazy thing about the mobile development is that there are almost
+no libraries and everybody tries to writes their own version of
+framework.
+
+Or there are ... NPM.
+
+Even https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/ECMA
+Script_6_support_in_Mozilla admits no support for libraries in
+the current development of Firefox (and Mozilla is traditionally
+ahead with the development of JavaScript)
+
+Perhaps there is a hope in Web Components, but I don't believe it much
+... in the end what we are getting is https://github.com/mozbrick/brick
+again. It seems that all we get from Web Components is yet another framework, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Components (ReactJS? Polymer?)
+
+This doesn't mean I don’t want examples.
