Apologizes if I jumped around a lot, and misspelled. More
difficult than I thought typing from my phone.
Most developers nowadays are having a lot of success building web
apps with an AngularJS MVC & Vibe.d, rather than rendering the
page entirely from the back-end. Heck, they can even build
android or ios native apps with this architecture (see Ionic
framework). So I think this makes more sense than rendering pages
in the back-end, even if most legacy web stuff did that.
