If this is such a great idea, I would recommend the author of this proposal to work instead on a transpiler that converts the proposed javascript-only websites into a mix of HTML+CSS+js. If the idea catches on and, at some point in the future, people start using the transpiler almost exclusively, then the web browser developers could add direct support, and even eventually phase out support for legacy individual HTML/CSS/js files. Another benefit of implementing a transpiler first is that it would make the proposed javascript-only approach usable today.
- HelloNurse 6y agoIt's important to progress from impractical debate to practical technology, which needs to be proven. I think authoring tools for the proposed non-markup would be even more challenging than transpiling tools; tag-based markup (HTML, XML, even SGML), actual JavaScript, TypeScript and variants thereof and CSS are all much more text-editor friendly than this verbose JSON variation.
