Amazing that a 10-day hack from 1995 is still quietly deciding what half the files on the Internet actually are. Meanwhile my “temporary” scripts from last week can’t survive a single deploy. The Web really is held together by archaeological layers of glue code nobody dares touch because it somehow… still works.

It seems a strange anachronism in 2025 that there is still only one language for the web. It really should not have to matter which language I choose to code in. WebAssembly may offer this promise in future, but lack of DOM manipulation is a major design flaw IMO.
