I still don't really understand the regular DOM and what has happened to web development since the good old days of geocities..
Why does everyone need a full operating-system tier browser to render any website with javascript?
- Spivak 3y agoI mean the good news is that the regular DOM never really changed. It's still as awkward and clunky as it's always been. And all the snazzy new features that aren't just "here's an API for (other thing)" are pretty much universally trying to make using the DOM less painful. Async/Promises/Awaitables -> Callback Hell. Shadow DOM -> Not being able to defer DOM changes.
