Simplicity matters, correct:
What is simplest: A full website in Elm, or a website developed in a plethora of HTML, CSS each with at least a handful of libraries?
Well, Elm needs javascript..
All in all: there is not need to be religious about the tech stack.
- cousin_it 9y agoHTML isn't just simple to the programmer, it's also simple in other ways which gives it unrivalled accessibility (to disabled folks, different browsers and devices, web crawlers). Not sure any SPA framework can compete.
- SquareWheel 9y agoWeb crawlers and screen readers have supported Javascript for years. This is an outdated argument. SPAs can also support traditional URLs for bookmarking, indexing, etc.
- cousin_it 9y agoHave you tried relying on SPA crawling in practice? As far as I know it's still messed up and hasn't changed in half a decade, but maybe I'm missing something.
