HTML/CSS/JS is arguably the most successful UI platform in the world, so this is obviously wrong. You just want HTML to not be about UI.

- otabdeveloper4 7y agoSomething can be "not about UI" and "the most successful UI platform in the world" at the same time. Many such cases. :) Point is, HTML is a document format, not a UI toolkit. That's how it was designed and that's how it continues to evolve. This is probably not a ideal situation, but trying to change it now probably won't do any good.
- contravariant 7y agoWell like it or not but the rise of REST APIs suggests that HTTP is extraordinarily well suited to use as a general interface so it's not too surprising that the related markup language HTML has found similar use as a user interface.
