i love what fabien is doing with his website! also been experimenting with pure html with an itsy-bitsy amount of css. for months now i wondered how to display code without involving javascript. that textarea is so perfect! and i bet you when you copy and paste into word or your todo list application they won't even try to be "smart" about knowing what "rich text" is... that's very cool.

i am glad that there is a small village of indomitable developers holding out against tens of megabytes of reactive functional progress modern javascript frameworks. thank you

  There is a place for both.

    It’s not so much that there’s a place for both rather than both necessarily exist as two points in the same space. But the reality is that more websites than not these days will send you many megabytes of JS, mainly for the purpose of tracking you and extracting money/time from you, under the guise of “user experience”. So when I see some of those rare people who still actually care about quality, speed, performance, accessibility, etc I make sure to appreciate their work.

Yeah, damn, I thought I'd done well getting my page+css+font down to ~100kB (css/font cached after first load, so ~2kB on subsequent pages) but his site is tiny. Even with his CSS inlined to save a request the entire page is 15kB gzipped.
