Isn't it time we moved to a binary webpage model? Why do we stick with a frankly piss-poor web delivery mechanism just because it started out human readable for ease of debugging?
Even in HTML5 version, it's a bad design that's been hacked to death and isn't fit for purpose in the modern world.
Sorry ... didn't mean to rant here.

Just an aside - HTML is essentially XML - and that's running heavily in VS for some time now. Wouldn't that be a better place to rant?
Else, it must have some redeeming characteristic - like how would extensibility (which is implicit - the browser works as best as it can even for new and unsupported features)
Can we do so for binary? Perhaps stored in each browsers HTML.dll file? How to handle all this. Certainly not impossible but will it really improve things?

I don't do web 
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I try not to do web but get dragged into it all the time. We don't use any of these frameworks, just JS, jQuery and something for layout/formatting called Bootstrap.

What I wish is that MS come up with a c# version of javascript. Strongly typed, and a language most of their web devs are familiar with. How could they go wrong?

Isn't Typescript a step towards that direction?

IMHO, no. It's still javascript. I want to code client side in c#. If the "compiler" converts it to javascript, that's fine, but I want to code in c#.
