Sounds to me like we've round-tripped back to PHP, circa 2009. Bout time!

That's the vibe I got from browsing the Fresh documentation. However, I don't see it as a bad thing! Concepts feel like they fit together much more nicely than what I've seen in a lot of web tools.

As someone who is a bit of an outsider to webdev, it looks like enough power to make most webapps I'd want to make. I think the only question in my mind is what the benefits/drawbacks of Deno+Fresh vs something like SvelteKit.

There are good things and bad things about PHP. This is one of the good things.
Definitely! I'll make a small edit to my comment to make it clear I'm not dunking on the idea
more like PHP circa 1999 honestly
