Oh yes please. Separate data and code!
Ah, yes; let's return to the days of Fortran 77.
Do you really think that we can safely ignore the lessons of yesteryear ?
No, which is why I pointed out probably the most prominent example of why enforcing strict separation between code and data is a bad idea.
*Controlling* interchange between code and data, certainly.
If you have an "interchange" between code and data, then you have a clear seperation (otherwise they wouldn't need to interchange stuff).
Seperate code and data. Everything else leads to the mess you can see everyday in HTML+JS, HTML+PHP, Word documents plus macros, etc etc.
I wish people would actually learn something from history for once...
Best wishes,
