A bit like a decade ago and earlier when we still used server-side rendering:
request parameters + backend state = some html
- CGamesPlay 8y agoThis is a model I sorely miss when writing server-side node applications. I really appreciate the shared-nothing architecture of PHP when I'm trying to figure out why some async code is causing two parallel requests to get confused with each other. But I believe the GP is referring to interactive UIs, not static HTML. For example, you would never have a date picker widget render each month's calendar using a full server-side page refresh.
