When I started developing for the Joomla CMS (that was 15 years ago, in 2009), one of the things I liked most was the notion of events.

For example An article is about to be posted, An article has been posted, A user has registered, ... i.e. actions that are announced by the CMS and to which you can react.

When An article is about to be displayed is generated, you can have one (or more) pieces of code interact with this event. You can add dynamic content, you can also deny the article to be displayed if certain conditions are not met.
