Writing Slowly

Isn’t client-side scripting the issue, not server-side? I’ve enjoyed using the Gemini Protocol via its Lagrange client (works with other simple protocols too e.g. Gopher). Maybe it’s too simple, but it’s also quite elegant. Excluding client-side scripting kills the benefits — but also some of the problems. Still, it’s hard to evangelise for these protocols. It’s like saying “Try this, it’s worse.” You either like it or you don’t.
