HTML is a stateless protocol Everyone is trying to turn the internet into an application server, which is stateful. Developing for the web is, therefore, necessarily complex, because you're trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole. All I really want from the web is to READ documentation, look at cats and Youtube and do a bit of banking. HTML already caters for the first two categories. Why do we need stylesheets? HTML is a Markup Language. Just let the browser render the markup. Why does my browser need to download fonts? I already have fonts. Just use those! Computer folks can't leave well enough alone. We stuffed our web pages full of punch-a-monkeys (remember that egregious piece of garbage?) and Javascript. We put too much Javascript in, so now we're looking to "assemble" it. Just get rid of it. Maybe a sprinkling - a SPRINKLING - of JS might help on some - SOME - sites. Some server-site scripting might be appropriate, too. Now get off my lawn.
