Mixed Mode Manifesto

v0.1 Last updated: 2/23/2020

The manifesto

1. Multiple specialized languages are good for a project, not bad
2. SQL is an appropriate language for dealing with structured data
3. HTML and other markup languages are appropriate for web page layout
4. CSS is a simple and effective language for expressing web page style
5. Transpiling/compiling code written in one language into another for web consumption obfuscates comprehension
6. The ability to “view source” on web pages is a positive thing
   1. Enhances learning for new practitioners
   2. Easier to debug issues
7. Frameworks are best when they are small, focused, and lightweight

Work in progress
