Having read https://drewdevault.com/2020/03/18/Reckless-limitless-scope.html, I am now trying to understand if the entire feature set of the modern Web (not the HTML/js/css themselves, but the end result) can be reimplemented in a MUCH saner and simpler way (reading: hundreds or thousands of times simpler), at the same time yielding the same end result (given web pages are rewritten, of course).
What do you think?
Trying to change/throw out over 200+ years of theory/practice/standards/implimentations used to support/develop/provide/reach
the current end result on the "promise" of reimplimenting a suggested, but not defined/implimented, "MUCH saner/simpler way"?
Unrealistic even if the requirements of the following quote can be met in a way that would mute all resistence to change.
from google search of "extra ordinary claims require extra ordinary proof"
“Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” was a phrase
made popular by Carl Sagan who reworded Laplace's principle, which
says that “the weight of evidence for an extraordinary claim must
be proportioned to its strangeness” (Gillispie et al., 1999).

broke & no replacement for old original stuff available.

Even ignoring $$/re-eduation time/replacement down time to convert over; lot easier/less fustrating/more
