S-expression HTML as Standard

Name: Anonymous 2013-09-17 13:25

Who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to use opening and closing tags as DA STANDARD for SHITML? Are the people at W3 dumb?

For those who don't know what I'm talking about,
look how ugly and unnecessarily long HTML is.

<html>
<head>MY WEBSITE</head>
<title>MY WEBSITE</title>
<body>
<p>THIS KIND OF MARKUP IS <b><i><u>SHIT QUALITY</u></i></b></p>
</body>
</html>


But compared to the S-expressions

(html (head "MY WEBSITE")
(title "MY WEBSITE")
(body (p "THIS MARKUP IS" (b.i.u "SATORI QUALITY"))))


It looks far cleaner and makes your eyes feel right at home. It's easier to parse and won't take up as a few kilobytes / megabytes (depending on the page) less Internet bandwidth. Sure it has a lot of parenthesis but it's more attractive than the repeating shitstorm of </tags>.

I know there are a lot of implementations to this but there should be one STANDARD to rule them all. The next version of HTML in the standard should be something like this.

D fock? Any message you send is encoded in proper MIME, which any client can use to interpret however specification required. And hyperlinking was as easy as saying:

Since it is distributed in nature, and you can edit your message as to not have identifying information on the nodes. It is still the best federated P2P pseudonym network. high and low latency capabilities, and great caching. Even better when entire channels were a community hosted DHTs, of many different things.

Don't blame the protocol for your perceived lack of UI support for multimedia presentations and hyperlinked pages. Most common ones could and by default do:
