But it really is in practice?

As in, if you could design "programming on the web" from the ground up, I'm going to guess you wouldn't base it on technology designed to make reading on the web a look little more like a newspaper plus hyperlinks, and then yet another language that sort of does the same thing but...more, and visually oriented -- before you even get to, and not strongly integrated with, real programming logic?

If my goal is a platform for both static documents and interactive applications...

I would design it very similarly. Yes, there would be a lot of 20/20 hindsight improvements, fewer WTFs, but the overall structure would be similar.

And you?
