    Project mention: How to integrate Component Architecture into Symfony? | dev.to | 2024-03-15

    Miscommunication in our projects is costly. A single misunderstood User Story can result in 3 days of wasted development time. Additionally, when developers do not use the same programming language, it may be necessary to construct APIs to facilitate communication, which can also be expensive. It is important to consider why front-end developers may be hesitant to work with Twig and how this can lead to a disconnect between front-end and back-end development.

    Project mention: Ludic: New framework for Python with seamless Htmx support | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-21

    I agree and I don't fully understand the why of it.

    I remember coding PL/SQL to emmit HTML in Oracle around 1999 or 2000 and using functions to code the various elements.

    Thay got old and repetitive very quickly - for instqance, everytime I had to correct a spelling error, I had to recompile the code.

    To get around it I used one or two tables to hold html snippets to decouple the business/backend logic from the frontend, and stopped using the PL/SQL functios completely.

    My speed of developmet skyrocketed, and separating and abstracting the frontend from the backend made so much sense.

    A few years later, I was doing web developemt with Python using the Zope framework (not many people know about it tiday, I think).

    It uses a specialised serverside templating language called TAL (Template Attribute Language)[1] that basically builds the front end dynamically, and then you feed it data from the backend.

    Very neat and allowed me to build reusable compoments as well as collections of a schema definition (basically a dict), html template(s) and the code to validate that the inpuy matched the schema and could be rendered.

    Or something like that its been 2 employers and almost 20 years since i worked with tha :)

    I did build a small php extension for Wordpress using a PHP implementation[2] of TAL a few years ago, and TAL still works like a charm :)

    My point is that I still believe there is value in keeping python out of the HTMl-templating, and in keeping the front end logic apart from the backend logic.

    There is something I am not understanding about the renewal of mixing HTML/GUI template with code, buy I haven't fully found it yet.
