So, I figure this is as good a place to any to ask: I'm not totally clear on how AMP is supposed to work. From what I can tell, it "speeds up the web" by being a subset of HTML that forbids JavaScript, but there's nothing stopping publishers from just not putting any JS on their page right now. The reason they don't is that they need the ad revenue, and I don't see what AMP is doing to fix that. Is Google paying publishers to host AMP versions of their pages?
Did Google effectively just take their own stab at WML and WAP? I remember using a flip phone around 2002 with that awesome technology to view sports scores.
> In other words, AMP is technically half baked at best.<p>Yeah but it's still in the oven. They said from the start that they were announcing this project specifically to get feedback and that there's still a long way to go before they would call it production-ready.
