@eleventy We did this for @getkirby a while ago and never regretted it.

I don't think this should be controversial at all. I got convinced as soon as I learned that spaces are an a11y issue. I was so stuck with my own weird ideas why spaces are better that this didn't even occur to me as a problem.

It's definitely the better choice and also shrank our source code by roughly 1 MB of 7 MB, which is quite weird when you think that spaces take up so much … well … space.

@bastianallgeier @eleventy @getkirby yeah, I consider myself to be somewhat of a code chameleon that just adapts to the preference of the code base. I honestly wouldn’t have thought it was controversial either but some folks (outside of our community) got irritated by it *shrug*
