    Front end versus back end. The people who make programming languages are back-end developers. Their strengths lie with making something that works, not something that looks pretty.

      I beg to differ

      I can read plain-text PHP, Python or Ruby code.
      I can’t read plain-text, uncoloured HTML or Vue code.

        That’s all we had back in the day. The only difference that jumps out to me is having attributes, but that’s still not that crazy. Even back when I did web stuff, I used notepad++ without any particular higlighting the vast majority of the time for plain HTML (though not JS).
