It's easy to point out that it's not trivial to make async stuff with web technologies.
To be completely honest, when you look at the big picture, HTML was designed to be a static document format.
I really wish some new format or standard would be built from the ground up. HTML JS was never a good format, it just got popular to fight microsoft.

- austincheney 5y agoThat might have been true a decade ago, but no longer. With a bit of practice wiring things async is trivial easy. You have plenty of options now with http2, web sockets, and SSE. The hardest part, by far, in any of this is certificate management for the mandatory push to TLS for everything. Even that is much easier now with OpenSSL almost everywhere and Let’s Encrypt.
