Better for what? IMO a well-designed cross-platform networked RPC coupled with TCL/Tk could render most of JS and some of CSS3 useless, so that the brain-damaged concept of Web Applications could be abandoned in favor of proper server-client and p2p software. The HTML itself (for its original purpose) could be easily replaced then with Markdown and/or a nroff macro. If precise layout is needed, TeX would do it even better. All three (maybe even combined) are easier to learn, write and read then HTML. > And what should replace HTTP? 9p? ftp? gopher? Sanitized HTTP could do. 9p and gopher could do as well. -- Dmitrij D.
