Except in this case we are not developing high level languages, we are trying to patch poor ASM. I see the height of the web in the early 2000s, when web standards, accessibility, clean markup meant something. Now it is just a pile of frameworks (as someone twitted: JS frameworks are standards fanfiction) thrown together. And not even for apps, for a simple text page :( I will repeat Tantek's definition: if it is not curlable, it is not web.
