Apart from some justified points on how confusing origins can be, the author fundamentally misunderstands Web development.
Not only do users want fast sites and multiple of them open, so the performance point bears little weight, but the authors points to OOP techniques, presenting them as necessarily superior to FRP because they came later to Windows.
Next the criticism on productivity and size of developer teams. Productivity has gone up tremendously in my experience e.g. by doing universal apps using React/Webpack/CSS Modules and following FRP principles, all of which you can do while maintaining Web semantics. If you haven't noticed gains in productivity, your workflow is wrong and you aren't taking advantage of the current tools. From my point of view, things used to be much worse and it is finally maturing.
I won't bother commenting on the rest because the article just go down from there in confusion mixing up services with applications. The author just basically wants to write desktop apps, but also be able to take advantage of the Web's discoverability.
- ZenoArrow 9y ago> "Next the criticism on productivity and size of developer teams." Were we reading the same article? The main criticisms made by the author of the article were about web app security. If there was a mention of productivity it was only made in passing. > "The author just basically wants to write desktop apps, but also be able to take advantage of the Web's discoverability." Is this a bad approach?
