    We must now rigor through the surprisingly high amount of code-level complexity, and pay the price of a compile-step (with Webpack and babel (or similar beast) and a barrage of configurations, plugins and extensions) to have a working web page! But that's not all, we must also bend along with mind-bending runtime behaviours (of hooks and friends), and debug through difficult-to-grok transforms of our code!
