HTML may be a dead language because those who claim to love it can't imagine it being better.https://twitter.com/domenic/status/1206750011322753025 …

This isn't fair, Alex. HTML is not a dead language, and plenty of people who "claim to love it" actively imagine it better. Painting with a broad brush stroke there, aren't you?

The web definitely has a lot of issues right now, but this "the web is dying" thing is.... tiring? Nonproductive?

I also think it’s pretty fair to say that a toast notification is the least exciting and least useful element you could add natively to the browser. We need native components for tabs, accordions, and drop-down menus. We need a modal element that’s actually accessible.

If you want to be overly dramatic about it, sure.

Part of building for this platform means that sometimes you’re going to get it wrong and people are going to criticize you for it.

Maybe, but it's very often equally true that you're trying to advance the platform only to get attacked by people who don't have a problem with the proposed solution. They just hate who you work for. If Google was so all powerful I'd be building web components with HTML Imports.

If people are personally attacking you or being hateful, that’s wrong and that sucks. What’s the takeaway here? Stop trying? Something else? I’m not sure I understand the conclusion you’re reaching relative to Alex’s “HTML is dead” comments.

Couple of things. Renaming the intent to ship to something like "adding to canary for further eval" to prevent confusion. Discussion based on merits of proposal instead of your company sucks. Finally, don't complain about the music if you don't show up for the dance.

I2S isn't really that, tho. It very much specifies a desire to move something out from behind a flag -- usually something already landed in Beta. I2I has already been renamed "Intent to Prototype".

That's right. I mangled trying to say "simplify for the masses."
