HTML came before XML. Also, how is HTML crappy when it is used by millions of web sites and is one of the most successful technologies in the past 35 years?

Does this mean it is perfect? No. Is it "crappy"? Nope.

Also, while JavaScript had a rushed development cycle, it has grown over the past 20-30 years and you can clearly write some great programs in it. Also, it has some very good features. My favorite is you can pass functions as variable arguments. It got this before a lot of other mainstream languages.

That does not mean it's good.

Lead paint was widely used in the Europe and Americas for a very long time, doesn't mean it was good
