I also agree that the web is full of bloat and a mishmash of compromised features. I think you can design a web thats more powerful yet simpler if you actually solve the problems in a more forward thinking manner.<p>For example there has been so many things for powerful layouts whereas everyone knew 10 years ago we need powerful layout solutions (flexbox or whatver) and now we have grid frameworks and years of craft on older css enhancement that has to be supported. They keep adding features here and there to sort of address lots of problems where individually those features might be cheaper but the overall cost of implementing both by browsers and the us regular developers is much higher.<p>Here are couple of the things I want from the web and quite a few of them are there already if not in super ideal forms. Powerful layout thats simple enough to use, concept of webpage, a bundle (http2? all your resource together), making the whole partial rendering (ajaxified page) a natural concept. Even making the UI&#x2F;markup delivery being made separate from content (you can do that with all sorts of library but I think it should be at the core). Security concepts that are easier to implement (CSRF, url tampering etc.).<p>One of the idea I had is that browsers make a new engine that does the right things from the start and hopefully thats a much lighter engine and if you serve new pages they are really fast and if you serve old pages there is an optional transpoiler kind of thing that translates to the new version of the fly. Now it won&#x27;t be terribly good to start with so its optional but essentially the old version is frozen and the more people start to only use the new engine (with transpoiler).
