Tendency towards semantic web is unfortunately dead. Now you have simple blogs rendered by shadow DOM components. Even with templates separation of template and code was ideal - now you have 'reusable components' with templates all over the place. Functional programming has its place, but I'm not sure if everywhere. (You can separate code from templates even with FP and React - but often it is not the case).

Not dead, but under severe attack. We can and will fightback

Can you elaborate a bit why? I've don't think I've seen a time where most sites were generally semantic

[jimmygrapes]

Accessibility is the main reason, I believe

[tambourine_man]

Search engines, screen readers, ancient browsers, future browsers, etc.

The important concept is that HTML tags should convey the meaning of its content, rather than merely being a target for CSS to define its appearance.

I don't think you know what Shadow DOM means. Shadow DOM is not just another virtual DOM. It is a very specific thing built into browsers used only for HTML Custom Elements.

It is not very popular. React, Vue, etc., do not use the Custom Element spec.
