Better for what? IMO a well-designed cross-platform networked RPC
coupled with TCL/Tk could render most of JS and some of CSS3 useless,
so that the brain-damaged concept of Web Applications could be
abandoned in favor of proper server-client and p2p software.
The HTML itself (for its original purpose) could be easily replaced
then with Markdown and/or a nroff macro. If precise layout is needed,
TeX would do it even better. All three (maybe even combined) are
easier to learn, write and read then HTML.

Sanitized HTTP could do. 9p and gopher could do as well.
