You mean like a browser?
- sdegutis 11y agoBrowsers have evolved into exactly what people wanted Java for all along. Except it evolved from the wrong base. Kind of like if an elephant evolved to have intelligence and communication like ours instead of monkeys. That's pretty much the DOM & JS.
- djsumdog 11y agoWhen you look at browsers, web, html, http ... the whole stack. It's pretty horrible. How did we get to this point? ...could be worse. At least it's not E-mail.
- alexro 11y ago>> It's pretty horrible. How did we get to this point? Because ads... are more important to get right than other stuff /sarcasm
- tracker1 11y agoThere's always Notes.. ;-) Honestly, I don't think the browser is so bad. And once wasm takes hold and tooling catches up, you'll have lots of options.
- corndoge 11y agoYeah, except not completely broken with shit like "let's run python in the browser with javascript!" and "let's animate UI components originally designed to be static with an overloaded scripting language!" and a million other things. The browser and web were originally designed to view webpages (read documents) and not run arbitrary untrusted code... tl;dr you are making the point I refuted in my original post.
