@zensaiyuki There are multiple free software implementations of BASIC and the Excel file format's successor ODF. Only two free software implementations remain of the full web platform, because it is too complex. Which one is more proprietary in practice?
HyperCard has been forgotten, sadly. It will probably conceptually form part of the base for whatever comes next.

Free software doesn't have to mean a design free-for-all.
HTML is fragmented and has market share because Worse Is Better, and it has been very productive. But we are not talking about what's more productive.
We are talking about what's conceptually clean, usable and programmable for the casual end user, grokkable. HTML is not it.
With what we have learned from over two decades of web, we are armed with the knowledge to create a Better Is Better alternative.

@alcinnz, links? Curious to see what you're working on.
@zenhack I'm starting off by building a voice assistant/web browser ( https://git.nzoss.org.nz/alcinnz/rhapsode ) with it's own CSS engine ( https://git.nzoss.org.nz/alcinnz/stylish-haskell ) in Haskell.
@zenhack I've also gathered a bunch of ideas ( https://git.nzoss.org.nz/html6 ) from:
* http://john.ankarstrom.se/replacing-javascript/
* http://intercoolerjs.org/
* https://dev.to/winduptoy/a-javascript-free-frontend-2d3e
* & here from the fediverse.
@Shamar @clacke Well, not everyone would consider what I'm designing/implementing to be "programming". But yes, I am working on a better version of HTML.
