I didn't read the whole article. I couldn't. I couldn't get past the complete mis-analysis of what the web was in 2012. I was there. I was working as a developer, writing HTML5 code, no one was using tables, let alone flash. The initial arguments of this article are completely off base. Coffeescript was never sexy. It never took hold (despite some big dev names pushing it, sorry Jeremy).
Writing HTML back then is very similar to writing it now, only now you wrap it in a return statement and it lives in a jsx file.
No code has never been a silver bullet. It's main use has always been to solve "known" problems with reproducible components. If you had something you wanted to do outside of those components, you were SOL.
In 1999, we used tables. In 2009 we use divs. In 2019 we use divs and custom elements. In 2022 its all about those web components!
So make sure if you are going to go back in history, that you are factual and not making stuff up. Thanks.
