   A decade ago, a tribe of JS partisans took the web by the reigns, forked HTML and JS syntax, and yeeted useland abstractions into the critical path because "a better user experience".

   This was premised on the idea that everyone's CPUs/networks would get faster the way their top-end phones did.

   They could not have been more wrong.

   JS-first web development has been a planetary-scale exercise in the rich making life harder for the less well-off.
