Gotta say - almost every one of these responses is looking at the web from a purely front end perspective.

The web as a platform - REST - is a vital part of the internet. If you're proposing to change the web to fit only with your vision of the front end, recognise that you'll be losing a lot of its power and expressiveness for the backend, which was a part of what made it so successful in the first place.

Dear JavaScript developer: the web isn't just about you 🔥🔥🔥
