The separation of HTML and CSS is almost entirely arbitrary, which makes web development unnecessarily complex and requires way too much discipline to do right.

The separation of HTML and CSS is almost entirely arbitrary, which makes web development unnecessarily complex and requires way too much discipline to do right. I disagree with SVG though. The format has a lot of problems when you look closely, but in principle it's great and there are a lot of benefits that you get from using it. The main issue i have is that HTML itself stagnated. We still lack extremely basic UI components. > Javascript is perfectly fine, actually. The direction of JS went the wrong way quite a while ago. Keywords like class, let, const and import all break the dynamic nature of JS and the utility thereof. When these things were decided, there was apparently nobody in the room who asked "Wait, what is the point of having a dynamic language again?"
