If you have built a web app in the last five years using the dominant JavaScript frameworks, you know the drill. You start a simple project, and within an hour, you are drowning in boilerplate. You are configuring Redux or Zustand for state management, wrestling with npm dependency hell, and trying to get your types to cooperate across a fractured backend/frontend stack.
It feels like we spent the last decade making web development intentionally difficult.
But if you are working in the .NET ecosystem, Blazor offers a massive escape hatch. It moves past the bloated state-management traps of modern JavaScript, allowing you to write clean, component-driven, type-safe UIs using pure C#.
To prove exactly how streamlined this can be, I built Blazorm3—a lightweight, native implementation of Google's modern Material 3 design system built entirely for Blazor, completely free of heavy JavaScript wrappers.
Why Blazor Moves Beyond the JS State Bloat
