HTML is so simple it's retarded, you just have tags and attributes.
CSS is making it interesting & I can understand you find javascript not easy, but HTML, really?
No offence, my little sister also doesn't understand HTML, but then again, I don't see a blog post written by my little sister on HN.
- cbs 15y agoThe idea of an XML document is pretty goddamn easy. The basic tags of HTML are a breeze. The way html, css and js interact with eachother are a fucking kludge. The only way it makes any sense is with the understanding that css and js are tacked-on technologies that have influenced the evolution of all of them for a while now. If we were to recreate the language(s) of the web from scratch at square one now, knowing what we know now about what we want from it, but without our minds being influenced by the tech structures that we do have, it would be a completely different beast. We're still stuffing applications into a document format, when I build for the web I feel the pain of design decisions meant to conform with the realities of what came before.
