When it comes to the web:
I think there's something beautiful about HTML + CSS! Its not perfect, but given the problem statement of "inclusive richtext" you'd end up with a solution closely resembling HTML + CSS!
We maintain backwards compatibility with its imperfections, which is its own type of beauty!I'm not wedded to HTTP, I think we can do better.
I think most JS devs would be happier if that was its own thing, separate from the document web. I don't particular care for an "app web".

@alcinnz I think something that is missing from the non-http document web is logic for handling uploads. E.g it'd be useful to have a way to add new posts to a p2p forum without needing a server to gatekeep. I've been thinking that a PUT/POST to a wasm module could work with access to the p2p file system as an alternative to a bunch of JS. Maybe with a focus on reusing simple logiv between sites instead of doing a bunch of bespoke stuff.
