Re: good old days of php.
Drupal 8 still does this. Look at the core modules help functions as an example if you don't beleive it.

(I actually didn't read the article yet, but that's what it sounds like you mean here)
That's exactly what I was thinking, too, when reading:

Could I possibly ask where you work? I've been trying to find more places that work with Flask or Jinja to improve my own knowledge about the specific niche I eventually want to fill in a year or two and haven't really been able to find much out there.
Same here, reminded me of PHP
I work in a Flask and Jinja shop, so it's not really fair for me to pass judgement one way or another without having actually spent a month using this style. I just can't help preferring the Jinja method of templates that are mostly HTML with some templating code mixed in, vs. executable code that happens to be mostly concatenated strings of HTML.
