I think css+html has evolved and improved a lot. That's a good example.
But I think ultimately everything is being done to extend a legacy technology that was meant to add hyperlinking to texts and nothing more. I think a first-principles re-approach will be so much more powerful and free of the gravity of html+css constraints allowing developers to reach escape velocity.
- flukus 10y agoXAML started off from a blank slate and got inferior (IMO) results. There are a lot of not so obvious upsides to html+css that often get thrown out. Starting from scratch could be better in theory, but I'm doubtful that it will happen in practice anytime soon.
- kristianp 10y agoI agree starting from scratch is unlikely to happen. XAML however, wasn't helped by being built in the era when XML was perceived as the solution to every problem.
