Been spending some time over the last couple weeks trying to write my first block-based #WordPress theme.

Not only is the syntax redundant, poorly-documented, and difficult — it’s extremely limited in what you’re able to put on the page.

For instance, I can’t put an archive title inside my own `<h1>` with some prefix saying “This is the archive for: “, or something.

I find myself falling back to regular PHP enough that I’m not sure it’s going to be possible to build the theme I want.
