Indeed. The JS community flirted with the idea of a monolithic do-everything framework for a bit longer than I expected, but thank god the madness has passed.

Looking at job postings, angular does seem to br dominant, unfortunately.

How would you build a templating framework in JavaScript?

I'm a big fan of Ractive, check it out. Ractive.org

Takes me to a page under construction then redirects me to a blank page.

Edit: I think you meant ractivejs.org

Ok, seems pretty cool! But here's some news for you: it's doing dependency injection also.

Oh, yep sorry. I and my team have been using it for over a year now. Pretty good!

I wish we would stop beating around the bush and just add templating to HTML already; not as the current ‛template‛ element proposal, which still looks like DOM manipulation, but actual "expressions inside template attributes and content + data context set in code" like every templating library is doing. And don't forget conditionals and repeaters while you're at it.
