“It makes no sense to compare two technologies that are meant for two different things and whose initial designs are 20 years apart,” you might say. But since their end products look and feel so similar, you’d expect their ways of achieving them to be quite similar too, right?

Wrong. Having spent my last few years in the React Native world and occasionally coming back to the web, I can’t help but notice how much less sense the web makes.

One can only imagine how good the web could have been had it not been designed in mediocre fashion initially and then patched over and over throughout the years.
