Talk Proposal: Back to the Future of MPA - Thinking about Astro in context of web development history

[Spice-Z]

• Draft Title: Back to the Future of MPA - Thinking about Astro in context of web development history
• Length: (5 min lightning talk, or 10-20 min full presentation) 20min
• Links: (slides, article, notes) WIP
• Which dates, particularly Tue/Wed/Thu during the 2nd/3rd week of a month, are you likely available? I want to talk on June's event !

Before SPAs became popular, MPAs were the norm. Web servers ran on PHP, Ruby, or other languages, and used tools like templates, jQuery, and Gulp. However, SPA libraries such as React, Angular, and Vue brought SPAs as the new standard. Concurrently, TypeScript and Node.js were developed, enhancing the capabilities of developers. Numerous modern JavaScript frameworks like Next.js, Nuxt.js, and Gatsby now offer full-stack TypeScript development with options for SSR or SSG. Currently, Astro advocates for a return to the MPA approach. Why does Astro want to go back to MPAs? I believe Astro's MPA approach is much more advanced than its predecessors. I want to discuss why I favor Astro, contextualized by this history of web development.
