I like Knuth’s attempt at math typesetting much more, and I think that we’d be in a better place right now if all web browsers supported Plain TeX out of the box.

I tried to partially bring the ecosystem of TeX to the Web via SVG[1] a while ago, but I really hope there is an alternative to TeX for the Web to avoid the hassle of conversion. Matthew Butterick's Pollen[2] seems to be a good start, but currently the ecosystem is too small. It needs some more attention.
