This! I would go a step further, even. The "web-applifier" community should just leave the classic web and do their own:
* protocol (I am sure, HTTP is not ideal for serving apps)
* GUI description language (document markup language for UI design, really?)
* runtime (let them have WebAssembly and whatever they need)
* each app then could have their own window, making it look like a traditional app
- thayne 7y agoso... like Java swing or Adobe Air? I don't know all the reasons technologies those failed to deliver, but I do think that being able to deploy from the same platform that users use to discover the app (that is, the browser) as well as almost effortless instant updates has a lot to be said for it.
