    Now this inspired me to the great idea that we all should move to microservices in the browser, running as concurrent background tasks along a managed message bus, as soon as possible… (Functional programming and modules are dead, browser microservices are the future! We may even launch our web app in a fleet of redundant windows/tabs, by the this greatly improving stability!) ;-)

      Write a system of service workers intercepting each other's HTTP requests and I think you can do it!

        Also, include WebRTC for distributed remote partitions! (For redundant peer to peer backup, call your Ma and ask her to join your session as a distributed backup peer. If your computer dies, she'll still have the data. Now she really shouldn't close that window until your gear comes back from service…)

  Both of those inspired me to write what amounts to an homage, specifically about web development: https://www.brycewray.com/posts/2021/01/easy-peasy/ https://www.brycewray.com/posts/2021/01/easy-peasy/ . . . and, as I note in the opening: > I do **not** pretend this is in the originals’ amazing league.
