What's your reasoning behind the choice of markdown?

To quote yourself -

If HTML is so elegant, why isnt nuejs not using it?

On the similar line, if you're so much for web standards, why are you recommending the use of Bun which breaks so much of standards in the name of speed?

HTML for layout, Markdown for content. How else could it be?

    The entire nuejs route is built using markdown. https://github.com/nuejs/nue/tree/master/packages/examples/s...

    which is totally non-standard. Super common, but non-standard. You compiled the markdown to html using a tool (another non-standard item)

    You dont get to claim "standards-first" framework and then use non-standard technology and workflow.

      In Nue you're literally writing standard HTML, CSS and JavaScript when developing websites. Your Markdown- based content generates semantic HTML. Your styling is pure CSS with modern features like nesting and container queries. JavaScript remains vanilla JavaScript.

        I'm not literally writing" standard HTML, I'm literally writing Markdown and the tool you've yet to fully realise is generating* HTML from the Markdown I'm literally writing.

          You nailed it. Content separated from the structure. As it should be.
