No, THIS is bananas:


(In all seriousness, I agree it looks a little weird, but… it’s hard to find syntax that is web-compatible. Anything that any existing web app already relies on in URL fragments is off limits :( - 3 more replies

how does it should behave in clientside rendered applications? will it be applied after js is interpreted?
