It's probably not possible to evaluate this post without waiting for part two, where the author says they'll outline their plan for The One True Platform, because after reading part one I come away saying "yeah, so what?". I don't think many people working on the web platform evangelise it as the most amazing software development platform that's ever existed. But they do recognise the reasons why it has proven to be as popular as it is, and what can be done to improve it. That's why we've got WebAssembly for native code, Service Workers for offline capabilities, WebGL for performant graphics, so on and so forth. Yeah, it's scrappy, but it has much more chance of being successful than some start-from-scratch idealised standard (that will have no security vulnerabilities, naturally) that someone just brewed up. But hey! Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe part two will blow the web dev world away. But I'm not holding my breath.
