> I find web development to be unnecessarily complex, but I refuse to believe that’s true. Sorry, it's true. There are frameworks to make web dev "easy" in terms of less typing, but the learning curve for those is huge. There's lots of gotcha's to work around. What's really needed is a state-ful GUI markup standard. HTML lacks about dozen GUI idioms that have to be reinvented via JS + Dom, and they rarely do it well, or at least well as a package. Part of the problem is that JS wasn't meant to implement GUI engines; it's not a systems software language.
