THE WWW SUCKS, REDESIGN PLEASE

Name: Anonymous 2007-05-09 12:18 ID:V0B7y+TR

All of the technologies that form the foundation of the WWW really suck.  HTML blows, Ajax blows, Javascript/ECMAscript blows, XML blows, all browsers blow, Flash sucks, ActiveX sucks HARD, it *all* sucks.  This is the future?  A bunch of bloated technologies, initially meant to insure proper delivery of decorated textual information, forced and twisted into a multimedia landscape? 

ITT we redesign the WWW.

I'd put one suck for CSS (and, because JS/HTML both suck more, raise it to two sucks for JavaScript and three for HTML). Reason being, why does CSS bother with having a brace-based syntax and yet NOT have some way to nest elements? It'd be far more natural to write

.balls {
    font-size: small;
    color: red;
    #mine {
        font-size: bigger;
        + #yours {
            spacing: 1em;
        }
    }
}

instead of some repetitive mess like

.balls {
    font-size: small;
    color: red;
}
.balls #mine {
    font-size: bigger;
}
.balls #mine + .balls #yours {
    spacing: 1em;
}
