Don't just downvote because you like the web as an application platform. I am serious. The exact reason that these specific extensions being discussed are not standard now, along with dozens of others that would make application development much easier, is because providing an application platform is explicitly not the goal of HTML, CSS, or the web in general.
- striking 12y agoI do think that interactive documents are a very useful tool and that HTML and CSS get us there; but I totally agree that HTML and CSS do not make good applications. The web is for documents. Now if only there were a way to make applications that were delivered in the same fashion as documents, but not constrained by the same poor decisions.
