Replace Your HTML with Webscript in Web Applications

• mudge 6y ago
  I am the author of this new library. I am really interested in any feedback or questions.

    Unfortunately I can't even see anything about the library because /webscript/docs/ renders as a completely blank white page. Viewing the source, it appears that an empty page is the correct rendering because you aren't actually serving any content - the <body> tag is empty save for a few <script> tags! Given the submission title I assume you have intentionally replaced the HTML content with some sort of Javascript based template and/or dynamic generation. Running Javascript has risks; if you want me to run your program written in a Turing complete language (which are inherently undecidable; see the halting problem), I need to have a reason to accept the risk of run an unknown program. A blank page doesn't count. After looking briefly at app.js, it appears you are using a html-tag-like DSL (domain specific language) similar to HAML/Pug/Handlebars. This type of tool can make development a lot easier, but you need to render them server side! Send the client HTML, and progressively enhance into other features when they are supported!
