I'm receptive to that. The joy and accessibility of the web as a platform comes from all the stuff you can do before you resort to JS.

The part that gives me squicks is folding this work into AMP, which has specific design goals centered around making Google more money.

If Chrome were throwing a bunch of new tags into HTML that turned common JS framework idioms into tags, I would be 100% on board with that.

AMP is giving us one very large pile of experience to learn from and it can iterate more easily than we can in the platform.
