Decorators no, classes sometimes. And then you try to transform that
pseudocode into executable code as closely as possible, and you need
some sort of feature that makes these things functional. For instance,
the pseudocode for the example I gave might be:

/hello/[name]:
    return "A very warm hello to you too, [name]!"
