What "convenient" framework to use for non-ria applications?

Question

JavaScript

I'm very used to all the goodies of angulara - bindings, form validation, templates, in general, with minimal effort, we get a very lively and dynamic page.
It has become not very pleasant to write in jquery, and even more so in vanillajs.
But what's not to like? So I need to implement not a ria application, but just a landing page, where all the power of Angular is simply not needed - and it's fat. Plus, it harms SEO (well, a day to describe additional controllers for search engines, but you can’t put a prerender on a shared one).
Is there any popular, but unknown to me, framework that can do the following.
- everything can work on pyho-shared
- built-in form validations
- easy integration of jquery plugins
- we give the user a rendered template, and the models are initialized not with an extra request to the api, but directly from the page - well, this is actually the main thing. I would like a react approach with server-side rendering, but without the obligatory node and with the ease of angular.
Nonsense, right?

Answer 1

You can try to build a framework from libraries, as is now fashionable. Path or wayfarer for routing, vue.js or ractive for models and bindings, etc.

Answer 2

You can try either Angular Light - bindings and directives without factories, modules, etc. "husks".
