Web bloat in a nutshell and why we need to switch to things like Web Assembly more than ever. It's not WASM, but I used Laminar which is a Scala.js library, and it's the absolute pinnacle of (frontend) web development. Scala in general is just really great for idiomatic web code, its flexibility is unbeatable.
Another amazing alternative would be anything Rust. In fact I've used that much more than Scala for web. I've mainly used Leptos for full-stack and and Actix for backend, but I've seen Dioxus and Axum in good use and they both seem really great too.
Apparently Lemmy uses Leptos for its UI so... that's a +1.
I feel like this is completely avoidable bloat.
You could quite easily create this bloat in any language
