Hi cj.v, > Man, I wish you had started a separate discussion thread (with a link back to this one and a link from this one) related to that for a full discussion "over there" instead of intertwingling that with the intent of the original post.
Sorry about that. It was unintentional, I hope you consider that. > What benefit would we get replacing that simple code with javascript? It was a tangential thought. I assume you are showcasing a single-response API. If we parse the search parameters into a widget and respond to the query in a `switch-case` tree, the code block could be more manageable, less fragmented. Calling entirely different branches from a single point in a much less verbose way, DRY too. Again, in contrast to your take on JavaScript - mine goes the other way around. Prefer JS over TW WikiText. More chances of finding a solution in internet if I run into an issue, and the knowledge I acquire during the process will come handy outside the context of TW.
