Replacing JavaScript with Just HTML

Because you need 20x the JS to do the same thing and it’s still not hardware accelerated. These new CSS properties are well supported and will only get better.

   <span onclick="
      banana.
      classlist.
      toggle('hidden')
   ">click</span>

That's a poor example since it isn't accessible and doesn't work if a pending JS or CSS network request is preventing it from functioning.

This is the HTML version, it's not susceptible to halted execution, and it is accessible.
