This document advocates that everyone should create their own JavaScript framework. It notes that JavaScript has grown from a simple language into a tool for rendering and logic. As a result, many frameworks and tools have proliferated, making it unclear which path to take. The author then announces their own framework called wheel.js, providing a link for more information.
