I’m looking through the lens of nostalgia for the internet around 2000, but I often I wish we could return to this sort of world of lightweight and simple web design.
Now introducing a brand new, declarative framework built for interoperability and ease of use. Forget bundling, transpiring, packaging, dependency management – and don’t even think about worrying about CJS vs ESM vs AMD vs UMD vs SystemJS vs …, just include this one <script> and reference $ to your heart’s content.
We can, but it involves building your own websites, or volunteering for local organizations / charities / etc to build them, or pushing for simple website designs at your employer. The latter likely won't work due to branding and there being 10-100x as much budget available as strictly needed for an informational website.
I suppose the internet hasn't been very fast down there, and nobody has time to load dozens of scripts and tracking beacons when their science lab is on fire.
