"I love the historic separation between content and interactivity. I dislike that so many static pages won't load without JS and that we're moving further in that direction. ..." This I agree with you. I think JavaScript and WebAssembly are not so bad programming languages, but I do think that scripts in web pages are overused (regardless what programming language is used, which isn't the issue). Opaque single page apps are also bad for URL. Also I often use curl when I want to download a file (or in one case, to stream audio), so do not want to have to deal with the web browser to do that.
