[untog]

Get rid of all the abstraction, local state, dependency injection, symbol management and so on. Take HTML/HTTP seriously

You can't just say "remove local state and use HTTP instead" - people didn't invent local state from nowhere, it has a lot of advantages to relying on an HTTP call for everything you do. Particularly when you're scaling out widely or when you're dealing with mobile devices.

Or when dealing with some of the offline features of HTML5. Those are literally impossible to do without some local state.
