You seem wistful for a world that already exists. Google is doing this with the html5 canvas with flutter. A few other open source vector ui toolkits out there too like zebkit.org.
If you want to create static webpages you could use paper.js or one of it's ilk to create a declarative type interface to a vector abstraction of your view. If you are looking for something without javascript, you could use SVG itself.
- thomasqbrady 6y agoNot wistful, no. Curious. I ignored canvas as an option because: 1) It has inherent accessibility problems (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/canvas#Accessibility_concerns https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ca...) 2) It's not and never really could be a markup language (by design), so a declarative format would rely on some library like Flutter and would never truly be a standard. I was wondering what the state of web standards would be if we had gone (or now went) that route.
