A wise reply - thanks! Although I did not mention it in my OP, you are right that I have toyed with the idea of transpiling from some mega-featured single language to the various target languages the web requires. Who knows, I might even decide eventually that it is the easier route. I've already worked in teams where some people are UI guys and others do the business logic. Yes, the world is used to that by now. What is certain is that many organisations spend a fortune developing their framework and no two seem remotely alike and take years to get right. Those who develop without a framework tend to meet a law of diminishing returns. Intuitively there must be a better way (TM). If transpiling isn't the answer, one still needs to improve maintainability one way or another. And if Perl can't deliver on that, what can?

One world, one people
