let's create the future: a minimal lisp based web

A simple new web (HTTP, HTML, JS) replacement based on s-expressions and lisp. It would be useful for things like file hosting, wikipedia/wikis, BBSs, online newpapers/blogs, imageboards, youtube/mediagoblin style video sites.

Instead of XML we use s-exp for markup. It will be a very simple functional markup language that could be defined in a page or two. We will not allow it to grow and grow horribly like the W3C to the point that it's impossible to implement from scratch.

Instead of javascript we use a simple lisp language (similar to R5RS without continuations) which is interpreted with strict resource and permission bounds, so it will never do anything you do not allow it including swamping your computer down like current js JIT systems.

For servers, instead of tools similar to PHP we will use systems inspired by type-checking that are able to statically ensure that no vulnerabilities in the class of XSS/SQL injection/... exist.

1. A first draft design needs to be created.

2. It should be easy to get something up and running quite fast by writing a proxy that translates all this s-exp stuff into HTML - just for the purpose of prototyping.

3. Reference implementations from scratch - focus on low memory usage and stability (using safe languages instead of C or C++).

``should'' isn't an appropriate word. There is only what is. old /prog/ existed and used the software, shiichan, written by shii. Shii missed a case of some kind in his bbcode parser and some posters learned how to exploit it to get unintended effects like nested quoting. Shii is long gone and the development of the board software is frozen. You have two choices.

1. Use a browser that gracefully handles malformed HTML and enjoy the website.
2. Use a browser that refuses to display the page and wait for shii someone to fix it.

In one of these cases you get to use a website, and in the other case, you don't get to use it. Which do you prefer?

See >>31. It's not the same as (a niggers literally (b tongue) my anus), which would be <a>niggers literally <b>tongue</b> my anus</a>.
