WML/WAP got a bad rap I think, largely because of the way it was developed and imposed/introduced.
But it was not insane, and it represented a clarity of thought that then went missing for decades. Several things that were in WML are quite reminiscent of interactions designed in web components today.
- anthk 10mo agoGopher today (and even more Gemini) can do almost anything Wap did but without being a dead platform.
- exasperaited 10mo agoHave you read the WML 1.x spec? Let alone WML 2.x which never really happened. It had much more interesting scope than Gemini does. Gemini is not a good or sensible design. It's reactionary more than it is informed.
