- azakai 12y agoI think this might be semantic quibbling at this point. Yes, progressive enhancement and server-side rendered JS are similar. You can see the latter as a new version of the former. But it is implemented in such a way - a novel way - that it definitely deserves a term of its own.
- Touche 12y agoProgressive enhancement is not a technique, it's a goal. Server-side rendering is a method for achieving the goal.
- ac2u 12y agoIt's not really useful for the conversation to lump it in with the traditional definition of progressive enhancement that's been done for years. Even middle of the road efforts I tried a few years ago (such as sharing a templating language between client and server even when the implmentation language differs) was fraught with friction compared to this technique.
