http://www.flickr.com/photos/zeldman/3554249843/ HMTL has won
What did HTML/CSS/JavaScript beat? :) Gopher?
Java I assume
Flash
Sliverlight
csarven: you can delvier HTML over Gopher. They don't actually compete ;)
watta waste
csarven - I believe the reference is to other markup technologies that were pitched for the web browser
that supposedly were going to replace HTML, clean it all up etc.
like XML
I think it is moreso what KevinMarks suggested
and for CSS, perhaps the reference is to XSL-FO which was actually seriously advocated as a competing presentation technology for the Web at one point.
I don't XML/XSL-FO were in direct competition with HTML/CSS because they are simply designed to solve different (perhaps similar) problems.
^think
csarven - if you read their goals statements etc. at the time, they were very much intended to be used on the Web, clientside, and eventually replace HTML
there are many that still believe this (that random XML will replace HTML on the Web)
I didn't know that was the mission :)
of course it was because HTML was such a mess
so hard to parse etc. so first thing, let's make something much easier to parse because of course that's the most important thing right? (sound familiar?)
:)
Well, HTML is not going away anytime soon
By any means of imagination
It doesn't mean that HTML solves all problems either. So, good to have both IMO
Gotta run.
csarven - when something claims that it "solves all problems" - it rarely does a good job of solving any problems, more likely does a poor job of solving some problems.
"solves all problems" is a very poor design methodology in practice.
