i’m not saying you should generate websites the way that i generate websites, but whenever i look at how other people generate websites i am very unimpressed
is
<element name="h1" namespace="&xhtml;">
<value-of select="atom:title"/>
</element>
really better than
<h1>{{ post.title }}</h1>
?? no. but also yes
@Lady I mean, we have many languages that exist mostly because they are more tasty syntactic sugar than their predecessors. So. I have opinions, even if you disagree. 😉
@aschmitz oh i don't mind tasty syntactic sugar, but i am bothered by taking something structured and treating it as tho it is unstructured. it feels like a lot of templating languages do this latter thing
@Lady I think JSX does this okay (though it has other problems), in that you can only template things in reasonable places, not, like, half over a tag and also body content (like a fully preprocessed templating language might do, which of course would invite various vulnerabilities).
