Well time should better be spent working on another document language.
I'm curious what the alternative to HTML/CSS would be. If such a new language could be made more readable for humans, just like json and yaml are more readable than XML. Maybe even some stylized markdown or textile might offer a partial solution.
I guess this would not incur such a big cost, since HTTP is still fine. I mean the elephant in the room is that HTML was never designed for web applications in mind, yet you cannot deny that smartphone browsers have a hard time dealing with html web apps, for the simple reason that it's a nightmare to build and run, which is why android apps have to be made.
I guess what I'm saying makes sense, I'm not sure if I'm throwing a pave in the pond... But those things are the reasons I prefer working with languages like C++ instead of HTML.
- wwweston 9y ago> just like json and yaml are more readable than XML Not sure this is true for every case. JSON and YAML often shine for cases where data is primarily lists of key-value pairs (with some of the values also being kvps). If I'm dealing with a larger potential space that needs to allow for data that's mixed-media long-valued and arbitrarily structured, my experience is that markup often reads better.
