           | My take? In the beginning, we had to do everything server-
           | side. Then, doing as much as possible client-side was all the
           | rage.
           | 
           | And now we are bringing these client-side libraries back to
           | the server.

       | doing syntax highlighting before people started using javascript
       | libraries.

         | different syntactical pieces. /shrug
