But I agree websites are a bloated mess that shouldn’t be made on a giant javascript stack of unreadable unmaintainable garbage. It’d be cool if we got something more like applets. But then we’d have to design a framework that operates in a sandbox and is limited to only functions that are safe to perform on your computer without trusting the author and make it easy to write so developers can build it and… we’re back at html+css+javascript.

I think the big thing we need to do is fully replace javascript.
