No, seriously. Web sucks for GUI. Every basic UI framework does a better job at accessibility, not to talk about performance or weird bugs because it expects Chrome (cross-platform, huh?) to simulate a GUI on a Document Object Model, graceful degradation be damned. And buttons, forms, is something you don't need JS for. You do a poor job if you do.

For a bit more complex form validation (ofc only for user convenience and not security), you need js.

Convenience feature, basic functionality should work without this. Graceful degradation.

So you could in Delphi’s VCL and that compiled to every platform too. And that in the early 90s.

the web is the display server/compositor of the internet

if you want it to go away, everyone who is working on it and making it work right now disagrees with you

everything you said goes away with canvas and video games.

I'm sure most people wouldn't like losing their jobs.

Yeah if wars were somehow abolished for good, a LOT of people working in arms manufacturing would be pissed.

itch.io is a sin against the web. Those idiotic people... enjoying non document based web applications... they are destroying the internet!

The godot foundation is a destructive force and must be ended before all of the web as we know it has capitulated to.... javascript and non DOM APIs!!!!!!!!!
