HTML IS DEAD, LONG LIVE HTML

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

The DOM and CSS are outdated and inefficient for modern web apps due to their complexity, legacy issues, and the blurring of UI and content. Common problems include the stringly-typed nature of the DOM, CSS' inside-out approach to layout, and the inadequacy of text manipulation APIs. Alternatives like "HTML in Canvas" and GPU-based renderers are promising to look into.
