AFAIK both alternative protocols have their own respective standards of markup language, embedding JS into which is not currently possible

HTTP doesn't have to be associated with browser or text, its just data transfer protocol.

JavaScript lies in browser domain.

JS is a scripting language which is in another words is just a text that can be executed in runtime. So if protocol can transfer text it can transfer JS.

Man, I used to love exploring around on Gopher. And it's not like TOR which is just full of stupid shit. The Gopher sites still up are all kinda quirky and interesting tech talk.

Except for speed, weight and practically unusable in any not resource-based networks without knowing beforehand what resource you need.

 

It's not even suitable for web as in 2021 there are still no agreement on how “real” REST interfaces should look like to not be shitty.

 

And that's totally HTTP fault as URL/URI is the reason we can't normally identify different kinds of objects and actions upon them.

And that's totally HTTP fault as there are only 8 strictly defined METHODS we can use, and they are pretty shitty in terms of extensibility tbh.
