To be fair, the web was never meant to be an application development platform. It has only become that because of the ubiquity of the web, and the many advantages that web applications confer (multi-platform, instant updates etc.)
Given that, it's not surprising that the web application space continues to evolve as new solutions are tried, iterated and adopted widely, or abandoned.
- still_grokking 6y ago> the web was never meant to be an application development platform That! Exactly that! That's the point. But for some strange reasons people get offended if you tell them this. Maybe because you telling them they're using the wrong tool? Even if it's obvious? ;-)
- crubier 6y agoIndeed the web was not initially meant to be an application development platform. But it has been meant to be one now for 10+ years, basically since chrome arrived, along with ideas like chrome OS and others... And as a matter of fact it is now the most ubiquitous application development platform.
