No, seriously. Web sucks for GUI. Every basic UI framework does a better job at accessibility, not to talk about performance or weird bugs because it expects Chrome (cross-platform, huh?) to simulate a GUI on a Document Object Model, graceful degradation be damned. And buttons, forms, is something you don’t need JS for. You do a poor job if you do.

For a bit more complex form validation (ofc only for user convenience and not security), you need js.
Convenience feature, basic functionality should work without this. Graceful degradation.
Yeah but you can hack some shit together in jQuery real easy like
So you could in Delphi’s VCL and that compiled to every platform too. And that in the early 90s.
the web is the display server/compositor of the internet
if you want it to go away, everyone who is working on it and making it work right now disagrees with you
everything you said goes away with canvas and video games.
