There's a web standard (HTML5) and it includes all those features that
you (and I) dislike.  We could agree that it's a BAD standard.  Some
people feel the same about ANS Forth.  But it's there, and the big
browsers implement it, and web developers for the most part follow it.

I write C++ code sometimes.  C++11 introduced a lot of new features that
weren't in earlier versions.  They were refined further in C++14 and
later.  Am I irresponsible or not doing my job if I use those features,
instead of writing C++98 code in 2025?
