gollark: Oh, and if I were entirely redesigning the web more, HTTP would lose the weird case-insensitivity thing too. And maybe just work using JSON or some JSON-equivalent (well, we're using Lua here, so stricter Lua table syntax) instead of being a custom textual protocol.
gollark: News sites: they have a few kilobytes of text a page. They do not need to download megabytes of JS to render that, because the HTML renderer is perfectly good.
