You’re being snarky, but here’s a serious answer. I don’t see what relevance statelessness has to do with it, so I’ll leave that aside. The ‘problem’ with HTML

You’re being snarky, but here’s a serious answer. I don’t see what relevance statelessness has to do with it, so I’ll leave that aside.
The ‘problem’ with HTML is that it’s lacking a lot of features we now realise we want, and at the same time is flexible enough with CSS and JavaScript for people to solve them in their own ways. This had led to a proliferation of approaches, and stuff can’t be automated or make accessible reliably. It also makes creation more complicated than it needs to be.

- thejohnconway 2y agoIt would be both. Technical solutions are social solutions. A new language could be part of the solution. I don’t think it’s going to happen, by the way, I’m just identifying the problem as I see it, and why I don’t think HTML, Gopher, or Gemini going about solving it in the right way.
