HTML 6 et Web Components

The browser-as-a-platform is based on a lousy pro­gram­ming lan­guage ad­dress­ing a lousy ob­ject mod­el and us­ing a lousy stylesheet lan­guage for vi­su­al­s. Each of those could and should be re­placed by some­thing bet­ter. HTML? Not per­fec­t, but plen­ty good enough.

Not on­ly is HTML fin­ished; Even if we want­ed to im­prove it, there are no ob­vi­ous can­di­dates to do the work. The W3C has re­peat­ed­ly walked down blind HTML al­leys. The WhatWG mod­el was nev­er re­mote­ly sus­tain­able.
