I still think there is a lot of room for static pages with links in the style that people seem to be prematurely waxing melancholy about when forecasting where WebAssembly _may_ lead the internet. I was always able to find sites of interest that didn't include Flash, Java applets, and company when I just wanted to read something. I find some of the scroll-hijacking, and other javascript goodies on modern pages to either be a distraction, or non-functional on some different devices. On the other hand, I am particularly happy about, and working with Pollen in Racket, a creation by Matthew Butterick. Pollen is a language created with Racket for making digital books, books as code, and bringing some long-needed, real-world publishing aesthetics back to the web [1,2]. I may even by a font of his to get going and support him at the same time!
