It’s Time To Go Back to Web 1.0
(discuss.tchncs.de)
Invasive tracking and pay-for-play search engines has broken the internet. It’s time to reclaim our independence with the Small Web.
But JavaScript was a mistake. I've made my point. I'll hear no counter arguments.
As great as it would've been to have Python on the Web instead of JS I don't think that would've gone well when the Python foundation decided to make Python 3 incompatible with Python 2. That change already broke a lot of shit (Kodi addons never quite recovered from that) and I remember many people excusing it, but if websites ran on it, that wouldn't have been inconvenient, it would've been far more devastating.
