One of the first challenges faced is deciphering the complex syntax. The rules and structures leave beginners feeling lost and overwhelmed. Beyond the individual components of code lies the challenge of understanding its overall structure. How do these lines of syntax come together to create functional programs?

How can one balance logic and presentation to build a website successfully?

Adding to the confusion is the abundance of technology options, frameworks, and tools, each with its specific purpose. For instance, JavaScript serves one purpose, HTML another, and CSS an entirely different one.

Each language is the brainchild of different creators with varying goals. It is up to the learner to figure out the right mix of languages for their projects.

And as you delve deeper, you encounter the divergent ecosystem. For instance, the JS world, with its varying approaches and tools, further compounds the complexity.

JavaScript is not easy to learn, nor is it easy to use for authoring web content. From HTML-based solutions like HTMX to the JSX approach, where HTML is sparingly written, the diversity can leave beginners unsure of where to start or which path to follow.

The time and effort required to gain proficiency becomes never ending.

Non-programmers might explore CMS or website builders, assuming they are a viable alternative. Yet, SAAS-based solutions can confine users to the limitations set by the service, restricting their creative freedom.

The fear of relying on third-party providers looms large; what if they cease operations or impose undesirable changes?

In a world where programming might seem intentionally difficult, especially to those unfamiliar with it, we question the necessity for such complexity.

Shouldn’t we have a simpler solution — a tool accessible to all, akin to using Excel? A solution that is stable and easy-to-learn within a few hours.

This question inspired the creation of fastn — a solution that aims to eliminate the intimidation associated with programming. At fastn, we simplify programming, making it accessible to everyone.

fastn achieves this by offering a domain-specific language optimized for authoring web content. Its user-friendly interface and minimal syntax allow even those with no prior programming experience to grasp its functionalities swiftly.
