What would be the point of a lisp web?

Considering that we have all these great standards such as Postscript and TeX, what would the point of a lisp web be?

Lisp web would combine the user friendliness of Gopher, the speed of 60 MB enterprise JavaScript libraries, and the reliability and security of C.

There are no 60MB JS libraries. At best 4-6MB

The web is already Lispy. Erik Naggum said it best: XML is Lisp in Java's clothing.

But this is not how you are supposed to use TeX. It does already look better than html however.

According to you. \end{tagname}\end{tagname}\end{tagname} is probably worse than </tagname></tagname></tagname>.

"My first webpage!"

#paragraph
#bold
"Hello world!"

The billion dollar mistake of the web was creating/allowing a scripting environment. The IQ of the planet would be a couple points higher.

The irony is now that Javascript programmers are migrating over to application development via http://electron.atom.io/

Lol, so now if you have multiple processes of these programs, you're running N instances of WebKit. Goodbye RAM.

Ok I get it. It serves a purpose. A lot of programmers are dumb. But why don't they just use Visual Basic?

Shouldn't be too bad with memory deduplication, like KSM.

Which is much better than Firefox.

No, it isn't. Firefox has N^3 space complexity.

I ask of thee, why not just serve plain text over ssh? You could then easily browse the web using emacs via something like org-mode. Headings, tables, formatting, links and even inline images are supported by org-mode.
What is even the point of tls/ssl + http + html + css + javascript existing? It's just reinventing the wheel in a terrible way.
Want to run client side code? Send elisp, tex, postscript or whatever and let the client execute it.
Want to run code on server side in a similar way to cgi? Just execute the requested program via ssh.
Want directory listing similar to how Apache does it? ssh ls and letting your client interpret it or sftp solve that.

Don't change these.
