I'm building a website for a new company and the boss doesn't understand technology at all. says he doesn't want me using any html because it is old and I have to use python because it's a 'hot language.' I try to explain that html is for websites and he replies 'not mine.'

    Think you'd have any luck using Jade, or something like it?

    Promise to only use html5. By transitive property it must be five times better.

    On second thoughts, tell him you'll be making heavy use of ECMAScript, up to and including v2015... Baffle him with bullshit, he's obviously good at swallowing it.

    So I guess CSS is out of the question also due to age.

    @Mr-Numbers good thinking. Could do the same with html. Hypertext markup mega load

    I've got an idea.. Use a simple encryption on your html generated by Python in the backend then use JS to decode it in the browser! :-P

    Tell him it costs $1million per page.

    Well given that Python first appeared in 1991 and HTML first appeared in 1993, I'd say (even by his skullFuckingly misinformed reasoning) he's wrong about which is the "hot new language" 😉
