Power FX in Power Pages

The Microsoft team keeps adding new features and functionality to Power Pages. Just announced, the ability to use Power FX in Power Pages!

See official announcement here: Use Power Fx in Power Pages for authoring dynamic content

See documentation here: Use Power Fx in Power Pages (preview)

Check out a short video of where I add some Power FX code to read Dataverse data and display info on a web page:

Key things to note:

• You will need to ensure your table permissions are properly configured! I struggled with this a bit and I don’t think things are fully baked yet.
• The code is rendered server-side, so using Power FX to manipulate the UI on the client side won’t work. (JavaScript is your friend here).

What do you think? Will Power FX be a good language for Power Pages or is Liquid/JavaScript/CSS more than enough?
