The best CSS Framework? I don’t know. Complexity moves in mysterious ways. The many interpretations soc model must be satisfied.

1. CSS in CSS (canonical)
2. CSS in HTML (write once and time driven)
3. CSS in JavaScript (framework driven)
4. CSS in Shadow DOM (company/department driven)
5. CSS in Scoped Formats (IDE driven)
6. CSS in Preprocessors (design system driven)

I’d say, choices reflect environmental factors (social or otherwise) at play. If you’re lucky enough to choose, then suitability favors what draws the finish line closer? I’ve no advice since I’d rarely have the time/luxury to choose anyway. I’m usually thinking about the possibility of more types, sub–types (i.e in #1: bem, classless, etc), and the transposition strategy and speed between each class/type.

After perusing the web dev blog feeds (finally).. it seems that there’s a “mainstream” coordination away from the client side;

• https://unpoly.com/
• https://htmx.org/

Time until a transition to ‘json over the wire’? These are very handy libraries btw — I tried htmx previously.

I know of four PHP static site generators.

1. Jigsaw: Laravel Blade templates. Source Code
2. Couscous: Twig templates. Source Code
3. Sculpin: Twig templates. Source Code
4. Spress: Twig templates. Source Code

The key advantage is obvious: dynamicity “technically” comes for free. Feedback/debugging loops “can” be made instantaneous, and scaling to a large output is probably not too difficult.

One downside is that corporate minded developers and consumers online will think you’re a noob for choosing PHP.

Mathematical Markup Language (MathML)? I’ve thought about LaTeX/TeX strategies on the web for a bit ever since someone asked years ago about different approaches. I never got to poking around on my blog, but since then the masters have delivered unto us;

1. MathML (XML based web specification)
2. KaTeX
3. MathJax

In format conversion land we’ve been given; LaTeXML, make4ht, texmath, temml, and Pandoc.
