@clew Yeah, the web has been a big mess ever since it started being used as application delivery mechanism.

What I myself would greatly prefer would be a subset of the current web that doesn't support JS/wasm, but just HTTP, HTML, CSS and SVG.

That enables a lot while sidestepping most of the problems the web currently has and would bring us closer to the big web of hyperlinked pages that the web was initially envisioned as.

@clew

And if you extend HTTP/HTML with partial page updates (IIRC this was planned at some point, but later dropped) you can do almost everything JS is currently used for – with the only remainder being things that should either be native applications or UX stuff that should be implemented in the base spec.
