Stuart LangridgeWrite HTML. If that’s not enough, also write CSS. If that’s also not enough, write JS. But you’d be surprised how much you’ll find that CSS is actually enough, if you’re good at it.
(But be sure to check the accessibility of what you’re doing. Adding a little progressive enhancement JS to fix that is correct behaviour.)

Going against the grain reliably blows up your spot because HTML and CSS are shockingly efficient UI compression syntaxes. You can't beat 'em, byte-for-byte, and ~30 years of engineering have gone into optimising them for the *specific* environment they thrive in: loading sites the first time, through a straw, on CPU-starved devices. Every time it has looked like the environment would favour less efficient approaches, the world has changed in ways that disappoint post-scarcity naïveté.
