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.

Making CSS declarative was a conscious design choice based on a (in hindsight) totally wrong assumption. Today we know better.

What wrong assumption?

If someone approached me and said "Here is a new platform, you've got to learn 3 languages to do it" and someone else said "Here is my platform, you just need to learn 1 language", the second would be a much easier sell, especially if I'd never programmed before.

Yes. Easier doesn鈥檛 mean better or simpler, though. I鈥檝e seen people pitch Flash and Flex and Java Applets and Silverlight with the same reasoning.
