No. This is just completely, 100% wrong. Am I insane now?

If we would start webdev from scratch and had to choose between: - CSS vs css-in-js - REST vs GraphQL - Templates vs JSX No sane person would choose the first options.

I think it's a fair point that a "new web" would be all written in a single language. However the best bit what we have is you don't need to know CSS, JS & HTML to make a webpage & doing it in whatever works is totally ok.

No, why would it? HTML and CSS are declarative because of a conscious design choice, not by accident.

is it a rhetorical question you have about insanity? I think you always have been since I first saw you speak at some WS conference about REST :D

JSX -> Still need to understand the HTML bits. CSS in JS -> still need to understand the CSS bits. GraphQL-> still need to understand the HTTP verbs and thus implicit REST

The world of frontend dev is a hype driven world, this is why it's not actually moving forward, it's just a complete throwaway and start over each cycle. 3 years from now and we'll be asking what was 'css-in-js, jsx'?

No, you are sane. This is about engineering: every device is designed for a purpose and REST is about leveraging HTTP. GraphQL use HTTP like a socket, moving the swindle toward client-server paradigm. As long as this decision is appropriate to solve your problem... is it?
Replying to @stilkov
I thought the same thing. So no.

You鈥榬e not. Anyone who ever had to maintain code that mixed presentation with processing would know.

FFS. Stefan, (and just picking up on the most blatantly incorrect thing) how is that in 2018 otherwise smart children don't understand what REST is??? #mindboggling
