I kind of feel like the web and all that's gone into it is similar to all the work that went into the JVM to make it what it is. Kind of ridiculous, the platform we are on and the sheer amount of intelligence and hard work to make it as efficient as it is is astounding. Maybe because constraints breed creativity to do something with the garbage you have. So I honestly think it's better than it's ever been, but at the same time I understand the author's gripes of "This should have been designed with X in mind first and foremost"

" but at the same time I understand the author's gripes of "This should have been designed with X in mind first and foremost"" Sure thing. If you know exactly what you need and design for that, than the outcome is allways better, than just randomly adding things here and there. So yes, a newly designed web would be something awesome. The thing is just, that it is somewhat complicated to design such a thing in the first place. And then build it. And while you build it, you discover many new things that also absolutely have to go into the design, so you redesign, ... So in other words, I am curious for his thoughts on a new design and I would welcome it, if it leads to anything. I am just very sceptical, that there is something really awesome and concrete behind it. Vague ideas how to improve things, are allready floating around since the beginning.
