    For what it's worth, my intention is to overcome some of those issues that you mention. First, I assume you're talking about accidental pollution of the global scope (by omitting '…

    You're right. I knew I'd miss something! Thanks for catching my mistake.

    There is an inherent simplicity in HTML / CSS / JS that can be easily forgotten and difficult to replace. Each has its responsibility: Organization, Style, and Function I agree in …

    My thinking is that HTML has limitations, and can cause a lot of repetition. That's one of the reasons for the abstraction (along with avoiding the need for three separate language…

    You're right, it's a rare case. I will change that bit.

    Thanks, that is my thinking: learning three separate languages is a big burden, especially on beginners.

    Thanks for your honest feedback. Would you mind explaining what you mean by "the lack of opinionated language design infers on code"? Are you referring to the fact that it's not sp…

    I don't get why this is a good idea (or how it works*). Anyone care to explain? Edit: I'm wondering how it works in a technical sense.

    I don't really have any expectations; there are so many variables to consider. My guess, however, is that the price will be more stable, given that the effect of any bad news won't…

    Agreed. It will be interesting to see what happens at the end of this year when the block reward halves.

    The problem is that the content creator might not control the URL; their video might be posted by someone else to YouTube, or their image to Imgur etc. I was thinking that if the s…
