People are giving up too easily. Indieweb protocols are both simple and beautiful. They are for techies right now, but we have to keep pushing to make them more widely accessible.
The 80s were a dark era of shoddy vendor compilers and shifting standards for pre-ANSI C, but some implementers did interesting things with their compilers to set them apart from the crowd. MetaWare's High C Compiler, in addition to a bunch of nice quality-of-life extensions, had closures and generators with non-local returns, 30-odd years ago!
