Would not the browsers start 'bundling' for popular languages (python, ruby, Common Lisp ;-) or allow for cache 'preloads' for popular runtimes?

- RussianCow 10y agoHow would you draw the line on which languages/runtimes deserve to get bundled/cached? You could make the same argument for JavaScript libraries—shouldn't web browsers just bundle jQuery?—but there's ultimately no good way to do that.
- kruhft 10y agoI see a move to (browser?) specific based installer packages and a re-thought static 'cache' mechanism/area to do the preload. Of course, we move from the beauty of no-install software on the web back to runtime installing but...maybe it would be better?
