Thanks but no thanks.
HTML should provide a rich, declarative UI API by default. We shouldn't have to hunt down separate components to get that.
If you have to load Javascript, you have already lost.
- spankalee 11y agoA well regarded standard UI library, say jointly developed by browser vendors, could be CDN served and cached or even bundled with browsers eliminating the download cost with the massive advantage that it can be versioned independently of HTML and browsers and is optional in case a better library comes along.
- kuschku 11y agoAgain, at the moment where javascript is required to read a website, you have already lost.
- mozumder 11y ago> A well regarded standard UI library, say jointly developed by browser vendors, This is commonly known as the web browser. lol @ browser vendors deploying UI components via Javascript, when they could just as easily deploy them in the web browser itself as part of upgraded HTML specs.
- oldmanjay 11y ago"just as easily" is an interesting phrase to use here. I have to assume that your day job does not involve building browsers.
