Limitations of a simple script application
Simple script applications like the one we just saw are excellent starting points for learning programming concepts. They're easy to write and execute, making them perfect for beginners. However, simple scripts come with several limitations that can become significant as your needs grow or applications become more complex. Let's dive into some of these limitations to understand when this type of application might no longer be the best choice. Simple scripts are designed for small, specific tasks. As soon as the scope of the project grows, such as needing to handle more users or larger data sets, or more complex workflows, a single script quickly becomes inadequate. Scaling a script to meet these demands typically requires refactoring the code into a more modular, organized structure, often evolving into a multi-file or even multi-module application. Without clear separation of concerns like separating the user interface from the business logic, it's challenging to repurpose code for…
