> Our job now is figuring out how to adapt the ideas of high-performance native code while preserving what makes the web great: URLs, instant loading, and a security model that allows us to forget that we run thousands and thousands of untrusted scripts every day. URLs are indeed part of what makes the web great. So, too, is being able to read a document on any device imaginable, from a desktop with multiple monitors to a VT100 to a Plan 9 terminal window to a laptop to a watch to a phone to the custom OS I'm building in my free time. Non-progressively-enhancing JavaScript kills that entirely. Also, I don't think the security model of the web allows or enables us to forget that we're running thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of untrusted scripts; I think it just encourages us to. Really, we shouldn't forget it at all. The web security model — while nothing to sneer at — has enabled wholesale violations of privacy and the reduction of human beings to marketing data.
