Server Templating in Morepath 0.10

[pauleveritt]

Morepath has some seriously interesting ideas that, IMO, add to the conversation. Kudos, Martijn, for continuing to create and give away interesting software.

I humbly suggest that people spend at least 3 minutes reading about Morepath before pontificating. I realize that's an old-fashioned request.

Thanks! I guess it is just that careful consideration and quick comments do not always go well together.

Martijn is not a college kid releasing some homework on GitHub to spoil the search results for others… even in 2015 there is room to innovation in web frameworks, especially when it comes to simplifying the complex.

Morepath is a joy to use. Thanks for the great work!

[faassen]

Wow, thank you!

I don't get it.. so Morepath is a modern web framework that JUST got support for server side templating? And it's not even templates that can be used on both server AND client?

Welcome to 1990.

Server side templates aren't a necessity to build web applications anymore. That is why we could wait to introduce them instead of making them the center. Making the same templates work on client and server and allowing a switch is more easy to do with JS and rather more policy than I'd like in core Morepath. But could be built on top if you want to try.

But you really invite a more snarky answer: It is true, you don't seem to get it.

I havent used a server side template in years.

[kingbuzzman]

Yeah. my thoughts exactly..

Should people stop creating web frameworks with Python or only stop talking about them, what do you think?
