Imagine if someone tried to replace HTML

@FrodoSwaggins mind elaborating? somehow missing how basic markup needs any more changes or the direction of virtual dom fuckery that breaks websites with no javascript.

@FrodoSwaggins oh, so just a joke, gotcha.

Let's just switch to json or yaml instead

@alexbrooklyn Hell no

I had made a "browser" using lisp s-expressions as the exchange format, with strict document structure and UI made of components that could connect to each other. Before that, a custom language that looked suspiciously like JSON with inheritance (don't ask) which compiled down to html and css.

In short it was a terrible mix of ideas from here and there combined together because #yolo. A HTML replacement that actually changes something fundamental for the better would need a lot of thought, it's an interesting problem to think about, might try again, have a few ideas.

@M1sf3t Imagine if someone tried to replace JSX.

Many things are replaced as per human needs, why not HTML

@Jay-Kadam "HTML" stands for "HTML is not to be replaced"

@M1sf3t you're lucky they redid MSDN to be actually useful, it was a fucking horrible mess before, tons of duplicates, tons of empty function comments, no proper windows API signatures, ..

Edit: oops I read it as "msdn" lol
